D-Link DIR-845L User Manual
Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date
wireless encryption method used today. This is the recommended
wireless security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks.
Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a
pass-phrase (Shared Secret) for security.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
WPA Mode:
WPA is the older standard; select this
option if the clients that will be used
with the router only support the
older standard. WPA2 is the newer
implementation of the stronger IEEE
802.11i security standard. With the “WPA2”
option, the router tries WPA2 first, but falls
back to WPA if the client only supports
WPA. With the “WPA2 Only” option, the
router associates only with clients that
also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type:
Select the appropriate cipher type to use
here. Options to choose from are Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (
TKIP
), Advanced
Encryption Standard (
AES
), and Both (
TKIP
and AES
).
Group Key Update Interval:
Enter the amount of time before the group
key used for broadcast and multicast data
is changed.
RADIUS Server IP Address:
When the user chooses to use the EAP
authentication framework, the RADIUS
server’s IP address can be entered here.
RADIUS Server Port:
When the user chooses to use the EAP authentication framework, the RADIUS server’s port number can be entered
here.
RADIUS Server Shared
Secret:
Enter the shared secret used here. This secret phrase needs to be the same on all of the wireless clients for them to
be able to connect to the wireless network successfully.
