ESR-9710 Wireless N Gigabit Router

Version 1.0

ƒWPA Mode: Select the Auto WPA / WPA2 from the drop-down list.

ƒCipher Type: Select TKIP and AES as the cipher suite. The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP. Use TKIP only. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES. Use AES only. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES. TKIP and AES. The bridge negotiates the cipher type with the access point, and uses AES when available.

ƒGroup Key Update Interval: Specify the number of seconds before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed.

ƒPre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.

ƒClick on the Save Changes button to store these settings.

6.2.3.1.3WPA Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access & 802.1x)

ƒSelect the WPA-Enterprise radio button if your wireless network uses WPA encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.

ƒThis option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users.
