Encryption:
Select the encryption type, including
Auto
,
TKIP
, and
AES
. The default
setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the wireless
station's capability and request. AES is more secure than TKIP and TKIP
is not supported in 802.11n mode. It is recommended to select AES as
the encryption type.
PSK Password:
Configure the PSK password with ASCII or Hexadecimal characters. For
ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 characters with
combination of numbers, letters (case-sensitive) and common
punctuations. For Hexadecimal, the length should be 64 characters (case-
insensitive, 0-9, a-f, A-F).
Group Key
Update Period:
Specify the group key update period in seconds. The value can be either
0 or 30-8640000 seconds.
WPA/WPA2
Based on Radius Server, WPA can assign different password for different users and it is
much safer than WPA-PSK. However, its maintenance costs much which is only suitable
for enterprise users. At present, WPA has two versions: WPA and WPA2.
