Network Authentication

Open System: This enables any device to join the network without performing a security check.

Shared Key: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication (not available in Bridge/AP Repeater mode).

Legacy 802.1x: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, this provides the rights to access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC identity, centralized authentication, and dynamic key management, it reduces the security risk of wireless networks to as low as possible. To serve the 802.1x, at least one EAP type should be supported by the RADIUS Server, AP, and wireless client.

NOTE: For first time users, if EAP type “TLS” is selected, you need to import a valid user certificate. To import user certificates, refer to Section 6.9, Certificate Settings for more details.

WPA with RADIUS: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, with warrant (username, password, etc.) offered by user, you can use this authentication with a specific RADIUS server.

This is commonly used in large enterprise networks.

WPA2 with RADIUS: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, as a new version of WPA. If all the clients support WPA2, it is available. If it is selected, AES encryption and RADIUS server are required. It is only available in AP/Wireless Client mode.

WPA&WPA2 with RADIUS: Available in AP mode, it enables WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) for the client. If it is selected, the data encryption type must be TKIP + AES and the RADIUS server must be set.

WPA-PSK: This is a simplified WPA mode with no need for a specific authentication server. For the WPA Pre-Shared Key, pre-enter a key in each WLAN node. This is the commonly used in large and middle enterprise as well as a residential networks.

WPA2-PSK: As a new version of WPA, only available if all the clients support WPA2. If it is selected, the data encryption can only be AES and the passphrase is required.

WPA-PSK&WPA2-PSK: Available in AP mode, it enables WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES) encryption for the client. If it is selected, the data encryption can only be TKIP + AES and the passphrase is required.
