WPA Personal is a Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE
version of WPA employs a pre-shared key (instead of using IEEE
mode). The PSK is used for an initial check of credentials only.
This security mode is backwards-compatible for wireless clients that support the original WPA.
Field Description
WPA Versions Select the types of client stations you want to support:
WPA. If all client stations on the network support the original
WPA2, then select WPA.
WPA2. If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest using WPA2 which provides
the best security per the
WPA and WPA2. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support
support only the original WPA, select both of the check boxes. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client
stations associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients who support it. This
WPA configuration allows more interoperability, at the expense of some security.
Cipher Suites Select the cipher suite you want to use:
• TKIP
• CCMP (AES)
• TKIP and CCMP (AES)
Both TKIP and AES clients can associate with the AP. WPA clients must have one of the following
to be able to associate with the AP:
• A valid TKIP key
• A valid AES-CCMP key
Clients not configured to use a
Key The Pre-shared Key is the shared secret key for
to a maximum of 63 characters. Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic
letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.
Broadcast Key Enter a value to set the interval at which the broadcast (group) key is refreshed for clients associated
Refresh Rate to this VAP.
The valid range is 0–86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not refreshed.
