Chapter 6. Basic Setting
•Security. Choose the appropriate security level for your network.
Security | Description | Comments |
None | Factory default | Not recommended |
WEP | Wired Equivalent Privacy | Popular choice |
802.1X | Port-based authentication with RADIUS server | Popular choice for businesses |
WPA-PSK | Wi-Fi Protected Access with pre-shared key | Recommended for small networks |
WPA | Wi-Fi Protected Access with RADIUS server | Recommended for businesses |
WPA-PSK and WPA both use temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) instead of a static key (like WEP). If possible, choose wireless adapters that support WPA-PSK or WPA (if you have an 802.1X RADIUS authentication server). Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1, Apple Mac OS X Version 10.2.8 (and above); Linux 2.4.29 (RedHat 9) may be required for each client and server.
This router uses context-sensitive menus. After making your security selection, the bottom of this menu will change to reflect your security setting.
See the following four pages for detailed information for each security setting.
