Authentication mode:
You may select one of authentication to secure your
wireless network: Open Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2, WPA-
PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.
A. Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is
an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the
MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router
containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may
occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router
configuration.
B. Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the
authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared
key is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of
shared key authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN
environments.
C. Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.
D. WPA-PSK
