shared key is manually set on both the client station and the AP. Three types
of shared key authentication are available today for home or small office
WLAN environments.
Auto
The gateway will select appropriate authentication method (Open or Shared)
according to the WiFi client’s request automatically.
WPA-PSK
Select Encryption mode and enter the Pre-share Key. You can fill in 64
hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters as the
pre-share key.
WPA
Select Encryption mode and enter RADIUS Server related information. You
have to specify the IP address, and port number for the RADIUS Server, and
then fi
ll in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII
characters as the shared key. The key value is shared by the RADIUS server
and this router. This key value must be consistent with the key value in the
RADIUS server.
The available encryption modes are “TKIP”, “AES”, or
“TKIP/AES”.
WPA2-PSK
Select Encryption mode and enter the Pre-share Key. You can fill in 64
hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters as the
pre-share key.
WPA2
Select Encryption mode and enter RADIUS Server related information. You
have to specify the IP address, and port number for the RADIUS Server, and
then fi
ll in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII
characters as the shared key. The key value is shared by the RADIUS server
and this router. This key value must be consistent with the key value in the
RADIUS server.
The available encryption modes are “TKIP”, “AES”, or
“TKIP/AES”.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Select Encryption mode and enter the Pre-share Key. You can fill in 64
hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters as the
pre-share key.
WPA/WPA2
If some of wireless clients can only support WPA, but most of them can
support WPA2. You can choose this option to support both of them. Select
Encryption mode and enter RADIUS Server related information. You have to
specify the IP address, and port number for the RADIUS Server, and then fill in
64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters as
