Wireless Security
You can disable or enable WPA or WEP for protecting your wireless network.
The default mode of wireless security is Enabled. And the default security mode is WPA
WPA-PSK (TKIP) / WPA-PSK (AES) Pre-Shared Key
WPA Algorithms: There are two types of WPA-PSK security : WPA1 and WPA2.
WPA1 adopts the
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encrypted algorithm, which incorporates Message Integrity Code
(MIC), to provide protection against hackers. The WPA2 adopts the CCMP (Cipher Block Chaining
Message Authentication Code Protocol) of the AES (Advanced Encryption Security) algorithm.
WPA Shared Key: The key for network authentication. The input format is in character style and key size
should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters. By default, your Router is provided with a unique
Key. This key is also given on a label on the underside of your router/
Group Key Renewal: The time interval for changing the security key automatically between wireless
client and Access Point (AP). Default value is 3600 seconds.
Idle Timeout: The default idle timeout is 3600 seconds.
The timeout value is for when no data traffic
is send or received. If Router detects no traffic on the wireless interface, it will start a timer, and drop the
session when the timer reaches the defined timeout value. A new session will be established when further
data is sent.
