Select the appropriate security mode:
WPA
– Wi-Fi Protected Access mode allows for the authentication and interoperability with
enterprise class WPA enabled networks. This feature allows for authentication with networks
that support the EAP-TLS or PEAP Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types.
WPA-PSK
– Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key mode allows you to use WPA style
authentication and encryption in a network that does not support EAP/802.1x authentication.
802.1x
- This security mode allows the authentication of the user and/or the station to create a
dynamic Wired Equivalent Key (WEP) key. LEAP authentication with a Cisco network
infrastructure is included in this mode selection. Other EAP types supported by this mode are
EAP-TLS and PEAP.
Pre-Shared Key
- This mode is commonly referred to as IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) encryption.
