5. Under Security Options, select a WiFi security option:
• WPA2-PSK [AES]: The WPA2 option uses AES encryption. This type of security
allows only WiFi devices that support WPA2 or WPA3 to join the network.
When you select this option, the Password (Network Key) field displays. Do the
following:
a. In the Password (Network Key) field, enter the network key (password) that
you want to use.
It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.
b. Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future
reference.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]: If your network includes legacy devices
(devices that support only WPA), select this radio button. This option, which uses
AES and TKIP encryption, allows WiFi devices that support WPA, WPA2, or WPA3
to join the network.
When you select this option, the Password (Network Key) field displays. Do the
following:
a. In the Password (Network Key) field, enter the network key (password) that
you want to use.
It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.
b. Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future
reference.
• WPA2 Enterprise: If your network is connected to a RADIUS server that can
provide authentication and your network includes WPA2 and WPA3 devices,
select this radio button. WPA2 Enterprise can provide a high level of security and
allows WPA2 and WPA3 devices to connect to the network. (WPA devices cannot
connect.) Before a WiFi client can connect to the network, the WiFi client must
be configured on the RADIUS server and authenticated against the RADIUS server.
The router functions as the authenticator between the WiFi client and the RADIUS
server, which provides the actual authentication.
When you select this option, additional fields display so that you can specify the
RADIUS server. Do the following:
a. In the IP address field, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server to which
the router must connect.
b. In the Port field, enter the port number that the router must use to
communicate with the RADIUS server.
By default, the port number is 1812.
c. In the Shared Secret field, enter the password that the router must use to
communicate with the RADIUS server.
