encryption.

 

 

 

WPA Mixed – The router supports WPA (TKIP) and

 

 

 

WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of

 

 

 

the encryption methods will depend on the clients.

 

 

Use 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user

 

 

Authentication

must use a valid account to login to this wireless router

 

 

 

before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is

 

 

 

processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to

 

 

 

authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x.

 

 

WEP-64Bits

WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports

 

 

 

64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless

 

 

 

data. The longer key length will provide higher security.

 

 

 

When “WEP-64Bits” is selected, you have to enter

 

 

 

exactly 5 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10

 

 

 

hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).

 

 

WEP-128Bits

When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you have to enter

 

 

 

exactly 13 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26

 

 

 

hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).

 

 

WPA Authentication

There are two types of authentication mode for WPA.

 

 

Mode

Enterprise (RADIUS) – It uses an external RADIUS

 

 

 

server to perform user authentication. To use RADIUS,

 

 

 

enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS

 

 

 

port (default is 1812) and the shared secret from the

 

 

 

RADIUS server. Please refer to “Authentication RADIUS

 

 

 

Server” setting below for RADIUS setting.

 

 

 

Personal (Pre-Shared Key) Pre-Shared Key

 

 

 

authentication is based on a shared secret that is known

 

 

 

only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared

 

 

 

Key, select key format and enter a password in the “Pre-
