WPA Encryption Type
WPA is a stronger wireless security solution
than WEP. It uses a combination of 802.1x
authentication and broadcast/session keys.
• Pre-Shared Key/Passphrase
If there is no authentication server on your SOHO network, you can
issue the Pre-Shared Key to the clients that connect to the 802.11g
54Mbps Router. Be sure to use the same key for the 802.11g 54Mbps
Router and the connected clients.
Notes: 1.
Manual Pre-Shared Key supports up to 64-Hex characters.
2. Type 8~63 Hex characters for the Pre-Shared Passphrase.
3. Do not use a key that is long and complex for your clients
to type accurately.
4.
A Hex (hexadecimal) digit is a number or letter in the range
0-9 or A-F.
• 802.1X Mode
The 802.11g 54Mbps
Router allows you to use
802.1x authentication for
an enterprise network
environment with a
RADIUS server installed.
In 802.1x mode, access
will be checked against the authentication database stored on the
802.11g 54Mbps Router. You must specify the authentication period,
and the corresponding parameters in the RADIUS Server Parameters
field for the remote authentication protocol.
