WPA/ WPA-PSK/ WPA2/ WPA2-PSK: WPA-PSK offers two encryption methods, TKIP and AES. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63 characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.

Encryption Type: For Open and Shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSKand WPA2-PSKauthentication mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES.

WPA Pre-shared Key: This blank is the shared secret key between AP and STA. For WPA-PSKand WPA2-PSKauthentication mode, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 64 lengths.

WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must match with the AP’s key. There are four formats to enter the keys.

ASCII (64 bits): 5 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).

ASCII (128 bits): 13 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).

Hexadecimal (64 bits): 10 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).

Hexadecimal (128 bits): 26 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).

Show Password: Check this box to show the passwords that have been entered.

802.1x Setting: When users use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode.

802.1x tab:

EAP Method:

PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunnelling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN.

TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for
