802.1X Some network-security experts now recommend that wireless networks use 802.1X security measures to
overcome some weaknesses in standard WEP applications. A RADIUS server is used to authenticate all potential
users.
Server IP Address: enter the IP address of the Radius server
Port: enter a port number, or accept the default
Secret: enter a password (1-63 character)
Group Key Interval: time (in seconds) after which the Group Key is changed automatically (1-99999).
Important Note: The values needed for the above entries can be obtained from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP).

Important Note: If encryption of any kind, at any level is applied to the Router, all devices on the network must
comply with all security measures.
