Network Authentication
Option Description
Open A network can be set up either to use or not
use a network key for data encryption. WEP
is the type of encryption used. Open WEP is
the first-generation basic level security for
wireless networks.
Shared The network operates in Shared Key
authentication mode when a network key is
used for data encryption. Data encryption can
be enabled or disabled. WEP is the type of
encryption used. The Shared Key
authentication mode is the least secure.
WPA The network operates in IEEE 802.1x
authentication mode. This mode is for
environments with a Remote Access Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure.
This environment requires heavy technical
support to set up and maintain and is used by
large corporations.
In a RADIUS environment, various Extensible
Authentication Protocols (EAPs) are
supported. These may include TLS, TTLS,
PEAP, and LEAP.
WPA- For infrastructure environments without the
PSK RADIUS infrastructure. WPA-PSK supports
the use of a pre-shared key. WPA-PSK is the
next generation of wireless network security
for home and small office environments.
