Wireless LAN Access Point Configuration
802.1x WEP static key
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to
login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is
processed by a RADIUS server. This mode also uses WEP to encrypt the data during
communication. You can use 802.1x with WEP encryption in “AP mode”, “AP
Bridge-WDS mode” and “Universal Repeater mode”.
For the WEP settings, please refer to section “WEP only”. For the 802.1x settings,
please refer to section “802.1x only”.

WPA pre-shared key
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-
shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication.
It uses TKIP or CCMP(AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the
encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security very
much. You can use WPA pre-shared key encryption in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad Hoc
