Dynamic WEP Key Length When 2.4GHz, 802.11b wireless clients are using certificate-based authentication (EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS), dynamic WEP keys are automatically generated. Select the length of the Dynamic Key (64 or 128-bit) from the drop-down menu.

Key Renewal Timeout If you are using dynamic WEP keys (available only for EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS authentication), enter the number of seconds that will elapse before the Dynamic Key automatically changes. The default is 300 seconds.

Port Inactivity Timeout After the wireless client has been authenticated, the Router monitors activity on the port being used.
