Wireless Profiles

Setup > Wireless Settings > Profiles
The profile allows you to assign the security type, encryption and authentication to use when
connecting the AP to a wireless client. The default mode is "open", i.e. no security. This mode is
insecure as it allows any compatible wireless clients to connect to an AP configured with this security
profile.
To create a new profile, use a unique profile name to identify the combination of settings. Configure a
unique SSID that will be the identifier used by the clients to communicate to the AP using this profile.
By choosing to broadcast the SSID, compatible wireless clients within range of the AP can detect this
profile's availability.
The AP offers all advanced 802.11 security modes, including WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA+WPA2
options. The security of the Access point is configured by the Wireless Security Type section:
Open: select this option to create a public "open" network to allow unauthenticated devices to
access this wireless gateway.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): this option requires a static (pre-shared) key to be shared
between the AP and wireless client. Note that WEP does not support 802.11n data rates; is it
appropriate for legacy 802.11 connections.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): For stronger wireless security than WEP, choose this option. The
encryption for WPA will use TKIP and also CCMP if required. The authentication can be a pre-
shared key (PSK), Enterprise mode with RADIUS server, or both. Note that WPA does not support
802.11n data rates; is it appropriate for legacy 802.11 connections.
WPA2: this security type uses CCMP encryption (and the option to add TKIP encryption) on either
PSK (pre-shared key) or Enterprise (RADIUS Server) authentication.
