WPA2/802.1x
The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using the key, which either
PSK (Pre-Shared Key) entered manually in this field below or automatically negotiated
via 802.1x authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item
WPA Algorithms
Key Renewal
Interval
PMK Cache Period
Pre-Authentication

Description
Select TKIP, AES or TKIP/AES as the algorithm for WPA.
WPA uses shared key for authentication to the network.
However, normal network operations use a different
encryption key that is randomly generated. This randomly
generated key that is periodically replaced. Enter the
renewal security time (seconds) in the column. Smaller
interval leads to greater security but lower performance.
Default is 3600 seconds. Set 0 to disable re-key.
Set the expire time of WPA2 PMK (Pairwise master key)
cache. PMK Cache manages the list from the BSSIDs in the
associated SSID with which it has pre-authenticated.
Enables a station to authenticate to multiple APs for
roaming securer and faster. With the pre-authentication
procedure defined in IEEE 802.11i specification, the
pre-four-way-handshake can reduce handoff delay
perceivable by a mobile node. It makes roaming faster and
more secure. (Only valid in WPA2)
Enable - Enable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.
