Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN

WPA2-Enterprise Mixed

This security mode supports the transition from WPA-Enterprise to WPA2-Enterprise. You can have client devices that use either WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. The Wireless Router will automatically choose the encryption algorithm used by each client device.

RADIUS Server IP Address. Enter the RADIUS server’s IP address.

RADIUS Server Port. Enter the port number used by the RADIUS server. The default is 1812.

WPA Algorithms. Mixed Mode automatically chooses TKIP or AES for data encryption.

Shared Secret. Enter the Shared Secret key used by the Wireless Router and RADIUS server.

Key Renewal Timeout. Enter a Key Renewal Timeout period, which instructs the Wireless Router how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.

WEP

This security mode is defined in the original IEEE 802.11. This mode is not recommended now due to its weak security protection. Users are urged to migrate to WPA or WPA2.

Authentication Type. Choose the 802.11 authentication type as either Open System or Shared Key. The default is Open System.

Default Transmit Key. Select the key to be used for data encryption.

WEP Encryption. Select a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits).

Passphrase. If you want to generate WEP keys using a Passphrase, then enter the Passphrase in the field provided and click the Generate key.

Key 1-4. If you want to manually enter WEP keys, then complete the fields provided. Each WEP key can consist of the letters “A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through “9”. It should be 10 characters in length for 64-bit encryption or 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption.

Tx Key. Select one of the keys to be used for data encryption (when you manually enter multiple WEP keys).
