Description
Select the SSID Type.
There are 4 types of security to be selected. To secure your WLAN, it's
strongly recommended to enable this feature.
WEP: Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the
same encryption level and key.
WPA/WPA2 (TKIP): WPA/WPA2 uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method
and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection
against hackers.
WPA/WPA2 (AES): WPA/WPA2, also known as
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES utilizes
a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
WPA2 Mixed: The AP supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data
encryption. The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend
on the clients.
Check it to enable 802.1x authentications. This option is selected only
when the "Encryption" is chosen to either None or WEP. If the
"Encryption" is WEP, you need to further select the WEP key length to
be either WEP 64 character or WEP 128 character.
There are 2 types of authentication mode for WPA.
Enterprise (RADIUS): WPA RADIUS uses an external RADIUS server
to perform user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, enter the IP
address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is 1812) and
the shared secret from the RADIUS server.
Personal (Pre-Shared Key): Pre-Shared Key authentication is based
on a shared secret that is known only by the parties involved. To use
WPA Pre-Shared Key, select key format and enter a password in the
"Pre-Shared Key Format" and "Pre-Shared Key" setting respectively.
Passphrase: Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key secret as
user-friendly textual secret.
Hex (64 characters): Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key secret as
hexadecimal secret.
Specify the shared secret used by this Pre-Shared Key. If the
"Pre-Shared Key Format" is specified as PassPhrase, then it indicates a
passphrase of 8 to 64 character long or 64-hexadecimal number.
If the WPA-RADIUS is selected in "WPA Authentication Mode", the port
(default is 1812), IP address and password of external RADIUS server
are specified here.
