Network Authentication
Open System
: It allows any device to join the network without performing any security check.
Shared Key
: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication (Not available in
Bridge/AP Repeater mode).
Legacy 802.1x
: It provides the rights to access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User
and PC identity, centralized authentication as well as dynamic key management, it controls the
security risk of wireless network to the lowest. To serve the 802.1x, at least one EAP type should be
supported by the RADIUS Server, AP and wireless client.
WPA with RADIUS
: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. With
warrant (username, password and etc.) offered by user, this kind of authentication can be realized
with specific RADIUS server. This is the common way to be adopted in large enterprise network.
WPA2 with RADIUS
: WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger
encryption, authentication and key management than WPA. If it is selected, AES encryption and
RADIUS server are required.
WPA&WPA2 with RADIUS
: It provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) for the client. If it is
selected, the data encryption type must be TKIP + AES and the RADIUS server must be set.
