WPA-Personal: The method of authentication is similar to WEP,
user can define a 'Pre-Shared Key', once the key is confirmed and
satisfied on both the client and access point, then access is
granted. The encryption method used is referred to as the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
WPA MODE: In this setting, user can choose WPA or WPA2 or WPA
& WPA2. (WPA2 is far superior to WPA, because the encryption of
method used is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).)
Share Key: User should define the pre-share key in here; the
length of the key is (8-23 characters).
WPA Encryption: User can choose the encryption method of the
pre-shared key here; there are three options: Auto, AES and TKIP.
Group Key Update Interval: Time interval for rekeying the GTK
(broadcast/multicast encryption keys) in seconds.

support the 802.1x authentication. To use this function, a separate
RADIUS server is required. User should enter the IP and port

case if a backup server has been deployed in user's network, user
can also enter the necessary information here.
