Wireless Security - WPA2 Enterprise Mixed

This option features WPA2 used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) Enter the RADIUS server’s IP address and port number, along with the shared secret (authentication key) shared by the Router and the server. Last, enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.

This option features WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.)

To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate Default Transmit Key number. Then, select the level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits). Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance.

Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase to generate one or more WEP keys. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and should have no more than 32 alphanumeric characters. If you want to use a Passphrase, enter it in the Passphrase field and click Generate.

If you want to enter the WEP key(s) manually, then enter it in the Key 1-4field(s). (Do not leave a field blank, and do not enter all zeroes; they are not valid key values.) If you are
