WPA-Personal
WPA-Personal is based on a pre-shared key. It is characterized by high safety and simple
settings, so it is mostly used by common households and small businesses.
The following table introduces how to configure each item:
Version
Select the version of WPA-Personal according to your needs. If you select
WPA/WPA2-PSK, the EAP automatically decides whether to use WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK during the authentication process.
Encryption
Select the Encryption type. Note that some encryption type is only available
under certain circumstances.
Auto:
The default setting is Auto and the EAP will select TKIP or AES
automatically based on the client device’s request.
TKIP:
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP is not supported in 802.11n
mode, 802.11ac mode or 802.11n/ac mixed mode. If TKIP is applied in
802.11n, 802.11 ac or 802.11n/ac mixed mode, the clients may not be able
to access the wireless network. If TKIP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz)
or 11a/n mode(5GHz), the device may work at a low transmission rate.
AES:
Advanced Encryption Standard. It is securer than TKIP.
Wireless
Password
Configure the wireless password with ASCII or Hexadecimal characters.
•
For ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 and the valid characters
contain numbers, letters (case-sensitive) and common punctuations.
•
For Hexadecimal, the length should be between 8 and 64, and the valid
characters contain: 0-9, a-f, A-F.
Group Key
Update Period
Specify an update period of the encryption key. The update period instructs
how often the EAP should change the encryption key. 0 means that the
encryption key does not change at anytime.
