: Whether the network is available.
Security Mode
: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the
security features your wireless adapters support.
•
WPA2 Personal
•
WPA / WPA2 Personal
•
WPA Personal
•
WPA2 Enterprise
•
WPA / WPA2 Enterprise
•
WPA Enterprise
•
WEP Auto
•
Open
Select “Open” to create a hotspot: otherwise select the best security that your devices will support
(Cradlepoint recommends
WPA2
).
Depending on which Security Mode you select, there are different setup options.
•
“
Personal
” security modes require passwords.
•
“
Enterprise
” security modes are linked to a RADIUS server and require RADIUS authentication:
IP
,
Port
, and
Shared Key
(Secondary IP and NAS ID optional).
•
“
WPA2
” (Personal or Enterprise) forces AES as the WPA Cipher.
•
“
WPA/WPA2
” and “
WPA
” (Personal or Enterprise) allow AES, TKIP/AES, and TKIP.
•
“
WEP Auto
” requires a WEP Key.
•
“
Open
” has no password or other security measures.
NOTE
: If you don’t know whether you should choose Personal or Enterprise, assume Personal since you need to
know RADIUS authentication for Enterprise.
In order to protect your network from hackers and
unauthorized users, Cradlepoint highly recommends
WPA2/AES
for security if your attached devices can
support it. WEP and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have
been replaced by WPA/AES. Using those security
settings will cause the WiFi to limit to 802.11g modes.
NOTE
: If you select one of the security modes and
are unable to connect to the router afterwards, you
can use the reset buttons to reset the router to its
factory default state and try a different security mode
instead.
When you select either
WiFi Radio #1 (2.4GHz)
or
WiFi Radio #2 (5GHz)
from
Local Networks
, you have
several additional options for configuring your wireless
LANs under the
WiFi Settings
heading.
Channel Selection Method
: This controls how a WiFi
channel is selected.
•
User Selection
– Manually set the channel
•
Random Selection
– The router randomly sets the
channel
•
Smart Selection
(Default) – Scans to determine the
lowest interference WiFi channel
