RADIUS Server
Sets the RADIUS server IP address to use for client
authentication using the dotted-decimal format
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
RADIUS Port

Group Key Rotation Interval
Sets the WPA Group Rekey Interval in seconds. Set to zero to
disable periodic rekeying.
WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval
Sets the amount of time the wireless router can wait before
re-establishing authentication with the CPE.
WEP Encryption
Enables or disables Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption.
Shared Key Authentication
Sends an authentication request to the access point. Then the
access point sends a challenge text to the CPE.
The CPE encrypts challenge text which it sends to the access
point. The access point decrypts and compares the message
with the original challenge text. If they are the same, the
access point lets the CPE connect; if it does not match, the
access point does not let the CPE connect.
802.1x Authentication
Uses a stronger authentication than WEP and can be used in
addition..
Network Key 1 – 4

•

When both WPA encryption and WEP encryption are enabled,
only keys 2 and 3 are available for WEP encryption.
Current Network Key

enabled.
PassPhrase
Sets the text to use for WEP key generation.
