Broadcast SSID
When On is selected, the SSID is visible to wireless clients. If
Off is selected, the SSID is not visible to wireless clients
unless manually set up on the client. Broadcast SSID is On
by default to allow broadcasting of the primary network name
(SSID). Refer to
Enabling a Closed Network on the Primary
Network on page 81
to set up a closed network.
NOTE:
WPS must be disabled before Broadcast SSID can be
disabled.
Wireless Mode
Allows you to define the 802.11 wireless networking
standard(s).
2.4GHz band options are: Mixed (11b/g/n), and 11n only.
The default is Mixed (11b/g/n).
5GHz band options are: Mixed (11a/n/ac), Mixed (11n/ac)
and 11ac only. The default is Mixed (11a/n/ac).
WPA
Enables or disables the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
security protocol. WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user
authentication and improved data encryption. Setting WPA
alone with a pre-shared key requires a RADIUS or TACACS
server for authentication. This method is mostly used in large
enterprise implementations.
WPA-PSK
Enables or disables WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK). If you
do not have an external RADIUS server, use WPA-PSK,
which requires a single (identical) password entered into
wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the
passwords match, a client is granted access to the wireless
LAN.
WPA2
Enables or disables WPA2. This advanced protocol is
certified through Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2 program and
implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular,
it has an AES-based algorithm (CCMP) that is considered
fully secure. Setting WPA2 alone with a pre-shared key
requires a RADIUS or TACACS server for authentication.
This method is mostly used in large enterprise
implementations.
WPA2-PSK
Enables or disables WPA2-PSK. If you do not have an
external RADIUS server, use WPA2-PSK, which requires a
single (identical) password entered into wireless gateway and
wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client is
granted access to the wireless LAN. This is the default
residential setting. It is more secure than WPA-PSK and uses
AES encryption.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Sets WPA2 encryption to AES for WPA2, and WPA
Encryption to AES or TKIP+EAS. The default is WPA2/AES.
NOTE:
TKIP encryption results in maximum link speed of
54Mbps. Use WPA2+PSK with AES for maximum
performance and encryption security.
