P-663HN-51 Support Notes
WPA improves data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), Message Integrity Check and IEEE 802.1x. Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol uses 128-bits keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by
the authentication server. It includes a per-packet key mixing function, a
Message Integrity Check (MIC) named Michael, an extend initialization vector
(IV) with sequencing rules and a re-keying mechanism.
If you do not have an external RADIUS, server, you should use WPA-PSK
(WPA Pre-Share Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered
into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the
passwords match, a client will be granted access to a WLAN.
Here comes WPA-PSK Application example for your reference.
 Configuration for Access point
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the
authentication of wireless stations and encryption key management.
Authentication can be done using local user database internal to the
P-663HN-51 or an external RADIUS server for an unlimited number of users.
Step 1: To change your P-663HN-51's authentication settings, login Web
Configurator, Advanced Setup -> Wireless LAN -> Security
Step 2: Select SSID and 'Network Authentication' as WAP-PSK.
