WPA/WPA2/Mixed WPA WPA2 +Radius

PSK2+RADIUS features using of a RADIUS server with the pre-shared key authentication method. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router).

WPA provides a higher level of security, provided by its longer key and dynamic changes made to the key over time. 3Com recommends that you use WPA with any clients which support it.

If you enable encryption on the Router, you must reconfigure your wireless PCs to use exactly the same Encryption Type and Keys otherwise the devices will not understand each other.

The encryption methods used by the Router secure data transmitted through wireless communications between the Router and its wireless clients. Enabling encryption has no security effect on data transmitted through wired (Ethernet) connections or through your connections to the Internet.

Configuring You can choose to use a RADIUS server to authenticate clients, or you WPA/WPA2 can specify a pre-shared key.

Encryption

The pre-shared key is used to start the dialog between the Router and the client. During this dialog, a new key is agreed, making it more difficult to eavesdrop on wireless networks encrypted using WPA, than those encrypted using WEP.

To use a RADIUS Server to authenticate each user before they join the network, refer to “Using the Radius Server”on page 55.

To set up the pre-shared key, refer to “Using Pre-Shared

Passphrase”. on page 56.
