Details Select the network authentication mode that will be used to connect to your wireless devices.
To ensure a secure network, it is recommended to use WPA/WPA2. When IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac
is used or when WPA2 is used as authentication method, TKIP encryption cannot be used.
Range Open, Shared, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK, 802.1X, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA/
WPA2-Enterprise
Default Value Wireless LAN3 : WPA2-PSK
Wireless LAN4 : Open
Note Open (Open System):
Allows all access without authentication. For encryption mode, WEP can be used.
Shared (Pre-Shared Key):
Uses WEP key for encryption and allows access only from those with the same WEP key. For encryption
mode, WEP can be used.
WPA-PSK:
Uses PSK for network authentication. For encryption mode, TKIP/AES/AUTO can be selected. The
encryption key will be generated by communicating with your wireless devices using a Pre-Shared key.
WEP key setting is not used for this mode.
WPA2-PSK:
Uses PSK for network authentication. For encryption mode, AES/AUTO can be selected. The encryption
key will be generated by communicating with your wireless devices using a Pre-Shared key. WEP key
setting is not used for this mode.
WPA/WPA2-PSK:
Uses both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication.
802.1X:
Uses IEEE 802.1X user authentication and WEP encryption.
WPA-Enterprise:
Uses IEEE 802.1X user authentication and TKIP/AES/AUTO encryption.
WPA2-Enterprise:
Uses IEEE 802.1X user authentication and AES/AUTO encryption.
WPA/WPA2-Enterprise:
Uses IEEE 802.1X user authentication and AES/AUTO encryption.
When running in IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac, it is impossible to use Shared and IEEE 802.1X
authentication modes and WEP and TKIP encryption modes.
