WPA2-Personal
Fast
Roaming(802.11r)
WPA Algorithm
Pre-shared Key
Key Renewal
Enable or disable Fast Roaming (802.11r) .
Fast Roaming (802.11r) minimizes the delay when a
voice client transitions from one BSS to another within
the same ESS. Fast BSS Transition establishes
security and QoS states at the target AP before or
during a re-association. This minimizes the time
required to resume data connectivity when a BSS
transition happens.
Important Points to Remember:
Fast Roaming (802.11r) is operational only if the

wireless client has support for 802.11r
standard. If the client does not have support for
802.11r standard, it falls back to normal WPA2
authentication method.
If Fast Roaming (802.11r) is enabled, some

clients without 802.11r supported may fail to
connect to the network.
Only one SSID of the AP can be enabled with

Fast Roaming (802.11r).
The encryption method is AES. Wireless stations must
also use AES.
Enter the key value. It is 8 to 63 ASCII characters or
64 HEX characters. Other wireless stations must use
the same key.
Specify the value of Group Key Renewal. It's a value
from 600 to 36000 and default is 3600.
WPA automatically changes secret keys after a certain
period of time. The group key interval is the period of
time in between automatic changes of the group key,
which all devices on the network share.
Constantly keying the group key protects your
network against intrusion, as the would-be intruder
must cope with an ever-changing secret key.
