Description

 

 

 

WPA Versions

Select the types of client stations you want to support:

 

∙

WPA

 

∙

WPA2

 

∙

Both

 

WPA: If all client stations on the network support the original WPA but

 

none support the newer WPA2, then select WPA.

 

WPA2: If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest using

 

WPA2 which provides the best security per the IEEE 802.11i standard.

 

Both: If you have a mix of clients, some of which support WPA2 and others

 

which support only the original WPA, select both WPA and WPA2. This lets

 

both WPA and WPA2 client stations associate and authenticate, but uses the

 

more robust WPA2 for clients who support it. This WPA configuration

 

allows more interoperability, at the expense of some security.

 

 

Enable

If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or both WPA and WPA2, you

pre-authentication

can enable pre- authentication for WPA2 clients.

 

Click Enable pre-authenticationif you want WPA2 wireless clients to

 

send pre-authentication packet. The pre-authentication information will be

 

relayed from the access point the client is currently using to the target access

 

point. Enabling this feature can help speed up authentication for roaming

 

clients who connect to multiple access points.

 

This option does not apply if you selected WPA for WPA Versions because

 

the original WPA does not support this feature.
