DVG-G5402SP User’s Manual SETUP

WPA Authentication Mode

The wireless network can use WPA Authentication to verify whether a wireless device is allowed to access your Access Point or not. You can choose to use Enterprise (RADIUS) method or Personal (Pre-Shared Key). The encryption mechanism used for RADIUS and WPA-PSK is the same. The difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a specific characters sting like password instead of a user-authentication.

SETUP -> Wireless Setup -> Wireless Security (WPA-PSK)

Select the type of WPA-PSK (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA2 Mixed-PSK), choose the proper security mode according to your wireless network.

WPA Authentication Mode: Select Personal (Pre-Shared Key).

WPA Cipher Suite: WPA Cipher Suite is used for the configuration of WPA or WPA2 Mixed.

TKIP - TKIP is the security protocol used in WPA. The length of TKIP encryption is longer than WEP encryption that increases the complexity of decoding for crackers.

AES - The most powerful encryption algorithm that is commonly used in WPA.

WPA2 Cipher Suite: WPA2 Cipher Suite is used for the configuration of WPA2 or WPA2 Mixed.

TKIP - TKIP is the security protocol used in WPA. The length of TKIP encryption is longer than WEP encryption that increases the complexity of decoding for crackers.

AES - The most powerful encryption algorithm that is commonly used in WPA.

Pre-Shared Key Format: Select the Format of Pre-Shared Key. You can select Passphrase or Hex (64 characters) by entering a character string ranging from “A-Z” and “0-9”.

Pre-Shared Key: Enter a key of 8-64 characters long in the Pre-Shared Key filed. Make sure this key is exactly the same on all other wireless stations.
