Field Description

 

WPA

 

Security for Personal Networks – WPA or WPA2 Personal Modes

 

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a more secure wireless technology than WEP. WPA can be

 

used for both Enterprise (corporate applications) and Personal (home network) wireless

 

networks. We strongly recommend that you select either WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal as

 

the security mode for your home network, depending on which mode is supported by the

 

wireless adapter in your PC or wireless clients.

 

WPA-Personal (aka WPA-PSK or WPA-Pre-Shared Key), provides a more secure wireless

 

network that WEP. WPA-Personal introduces TKIP user authentication and stronger

 

encryption keys than WEP.

 

WPA2-Personal (aka WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Pre-Shared Key) provides the most secure

 

standards-based wireless networking. WPA2-Personal incorporates AES (Advanced

 

Encryption Standard) for data transmission.

 

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA2. WPA is supported across a wider range of

 

devices. Whether you use WPA or WPA2, make sure to use a “strong” passphrase. A strong

 

passphrase is a string of random characters at least 21 characters in length.

 

Select from one of the following three WPA or WPA2 Personal modes:

 

WPA-Personal

 

WPA2-Personal

 

WPA or WPA2-Personal

Field Descriptions

Encryption. The default is TKIP+AES.

Pre-Shared Key. Enter a key of 8 to 63 characters.

Key Renewal. Enter a Key Renewal period, which instructs the device how often it should change encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.
