6.4 Wireless Security Overview
Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless
stations, access points and the wired network.
The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your G-570U. EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is used for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key
exchange. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless
stations.
If you do not enable any wireless security on your G-570U, your network is accessible to any
wireless networking device that is within range.
6.4.1 Encryption
• Use WPA(2) security if you have WP(2)A-aware wireless clients and a RADIUS server.
WPA(2) has user authentication and improved data encryption over WEP.
• Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.
• If you don’t have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients, then use WEP key encrypting. A
higher bit key offers better security at a throughput trade-off. You can use the passphrase
feature to automatically generate WEP keys or manually enter WEP keys.
6.4.2 Authentication
Use a RADIUS server with WPA or IEEE 802.1x key management protocol.
