WPA-Personal

This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK).

Pre-Shared Key:

Cipher Type:

Group Key Update Interval:

The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 characters in ASCII format at both ends of the wireless connection. The pass-phrase cannot be shorter than 8 characters. The pass-phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.

The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption.

The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed.

WPA-Enterprise

This option works with a RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through the Gateway. Furthermore, the RADIUS Server may need to be configured to allow this Gateway to authenticate users.

Authentication:

The method in which the pre-shared key is changed.
