WPA/WPA2
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key”
which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several
encryption options:
TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in
this method.
WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access using Pre-Shared Key) is recommended for users who
are not using a RADIUS server in a home environment and all their clients support
WPA/WPA2. This method provides a better security.
Encryption WEP Key 1~4 Passphrase
TKIP
AES
NOT REQUIRED 8-63 characters
802.1x
With 802.1x authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that
are not encrypted, however, additional setup for RADIUS to issue the WEP key dynamically
will be required.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point
must use the same settings, as follows:
Mode
On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
SSID (ESSID)
Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point
they wish to connect to, but the SSID can not set to be null (blank).
WEP The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings
for WEP (None, 64 Bit, 128 Bit).
WEP Key: If WEP is enabled, the Key must be the same on the Wireless
Stations and the Access Point.
WEP Authentication: If WEP is enabled, all Wireless Stations must use
the same setting as the Access Point (either "Open System" or "Shared
Key").
WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK/
WPA-RADIUS/
WPA2-RADIUS WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES)/ WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES)/ WPA-RADIUS
(TKIP/AES)/ WPA2 -RADIUS (TKIP/AES): If one of these securities is
enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the same settings
as the Wireless Router. If there is no security is enabled on the Wireless
Router, the security of each station should be disabled as well.
