Belkin F5D9630UK4A user manual Setting WPA-Personal PSK, Setting WPA-Enterprise Radius Settings

Manually Configuring your Router

There are two types of WPA security: WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA- Enterprise (RADIUS). WPA-Personal (PSK) uses a so-called Pre-Shared key as the security key. A Pre-Shared key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client uses the same key to access the network. Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment.

WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS) is a configuration wherein a radius server distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically used in a business environment.

Setting WPA-Personal (PSK)

1.From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA/WPA2-PSK.

2.Select “WPA-PSK” for Authentication.

3. For Encryption Technique, select “TKIP”. This setting will have to be identical on the clients that you set up.

4.Enter your Pre-Shared key. This can be from eight to 63 characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on all of the clients that you set up. For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family network key”.

5.Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to match these settings.

Setting WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS) Settings

If your network uses a radius server to distribute keys to the clients, use this setting.

1.From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA/ WPA2—Enterprise (RADIUS)
