WPA RADIUS
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use an
external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key
to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP(AES) to change the
encryption key frequently. This can improve security very much. You can use WPA
RADIUS encryption in “AP mode”, “AP Bridge-WDS mode” and “Universal Repeater
mode”.
