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 log in to this wireless router

 

before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is

 

processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to

 

authenticate a user by IEEE 802.1x.

WEP-64Bits

WEP is a lower level of security than WPA, and 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 need 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 need 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) 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. Refer to the “Authentication RADIUS

 

Server” setting below for RADIUS setting.

 

• Personal (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 the key format and

 

enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key Format” and

 

“Pre-Shared Key” settings.

Pre-Shared Key

You can select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or

Format

Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F,” “a-f” and “0-9” range) to

 

be the Pre-shared Key. For example:

 

Passphrase: ”iamguest”

 

Hexadecimal Digits: “12345abcde”

Pre-Shared Key

Enter 8-63 characters as the “Pre-Shared Key.”
