By storing user profiles locally on the 1500WR Wireless Router, your 1500WR Wireless Router is able
to authenticate wireless users without interacting with a network RADIUS server. However, there is a
limit on the number of users you may authenticate in this way.

box. Choose from
No Authentication Required, Authentication Required
and

No Authentication Required
allows all wireless stations access to the wired network without entering
usernames and passwords. This is the default setting.
Authentication Required
means that all wireless stations have to enter usernames and passwords
before access to the wired network is allowed.
No Access Allowed
blocks all wireless stations access to the wired network.
ReAuthentication
Timer
(in seconds)
Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter usernames and passwords in order to stay
connected. This field is activated only when you select
Authentication Required

If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.

The 1500WR Wireless Router automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network
after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and password again before
access to the wired network is allowed.
This field is activated only when you select
