7.2.4 WPA(2) Authentication
The WPA2 security mode is currently the most robust form of encryption for wireless networks. It
requires a RADIUS server to authenticate user credentials and is a full implementation the security
protocol. Use this security option for maximum protection of your network. However, it is the least
backwards compatible with older devices.
The WPA security mode is a security subset of WPA2. It requires the presence of a RADIUS server
on your network in order to validate user credentials. This encryption standard is slightly older than
WPA2 and therefore is more compatible with older devices.

The
Group Key Update Timer
is the rate at which the RADIUS
server sends a new
group key out to all clients.
Encryption
This field displays the encryption type for data encryption.
If you choose
WPA-PSK
as the security mode, the AMG1302-T11C uses
TKIP
for data
encryption.
If you choose
WPA2-PSK
as the security mode and enable WPA-PSK Compatible, the
AMG1302-T11C uses either TKIP and AES (
TKIPAES MIX
) for data encryption.
If you choose
WPA2-PSK
as the security mode but disable WPA-PSK Compatible, the
AMG1302-T11C uses
AES
for data encryption.
