WPS Enable/Disable:
WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. WPS provides two methods to automatically
distribute wireless keys to clients that support this feature, described below. For the
record, as of July, 2015, Apple devices did not support WPS.
WPS Client PIN Method:
On your client device, run a utility to generate a WPS PIN.
Copy the PIN that the client generates and enter it here, then press the Save button.
Once this process is complete, your cable modem/router will display the results, or it
will time out after about two minutes.
Note that this method will change the default SSID and key for your network.
WPA:
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a slightly older and less secure algorithm for securing a
wireless network. This is the Enterprise variant that requires configuration of a
RADIUS server.
WPA-PSK:
The Pre-Shared Key mode of the WPA algorithm which does not require use of a
RADIUS server. This is also known as WPA Personal. WPA and WPA-PSK cannot be
used at the same time.
WPA2:
An advanced form of WPA that is more secure. This is the Enterprise mode of WPA2
which requires the use of a RADIUS server. WPA2 and WPA may be used at the
same time to provide backward compatibility with devices that do not support WPA2.
WPA2-PSK:
The Pre-Shared Key mode of WPA2, also known as WPA2 Personal.WPA2 and
WPA2-PSK cannot be used at the same time. WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK may be
used at the same time to provide backward compatibility with devices that do not
support WPA2.
Encryption:
Select the desired encryption protocol for your network. The default is TKIP+AES
.
RADIUS:
Disable WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK and Enable WPA / WPA2 to un-gray out RADIUS
settings.
