Description
Select which guest network to configure.
Select to enable or disable the guest network selected.
Enter a new guest network name, if desired. This SSID
name is broadcast from the device and is used to connect
to the wireless network.
If Enable is selected, this will hide the SSID name. When
nearby wireless clients try to scan the SSID, it will not
discover this hidden SSID name, unless the user
manually adds the SSID to the wireless client.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE
802.11i standard. Key differences between WPA and
WEP are user authentication and improved data
encryption.
If you don't have an external RADIUS server you should
use WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) that only requires
a single (identical) password entered into wireless
gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords
match, a client will be granted access to the wireless
LAN.
Advanced protocol, certified through Wi-Fi Alliance's
WPA2 program, implements the mandatory elements of
802.11i. In particular, it introduces a new AES-based
algorithm, CCMP, that is considered fully secure.
If you don't have an external RADIUS server you should
use WPA2-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) that only requires
a single (identical) password entered into wireless
gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords
match, a client will be granted access to the wireless
LAN.
Switch to enable or disable WPA/WPA2 encryption.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK
are the same. The only difference between the two is that
WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of
user-specific credentials. Refer to
value of the shared key.
Input the IP address of RADIUS server, if used.
Enter a RADIUS port number when WPA or 802.1x
network authentication is selected.
Enter the RADIUS Key when WPA or 802.1x network
authentication is selected.
Allows the wireless router to generate the best possible
random group key and update all the key-management
capable stations periodically.
