Web User Interface Wireless Security Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable. There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
Web User Interface Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2) WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP). WPA-Enterprise requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication.
Page 21
Web User Interface WPA Mode: When WPA-Enterprise is selected, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use different algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2.
Web User Interface LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DAP-2662. These settings may be referred to as private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.
