WPA/WPA2 Encryption

When using WPA or WPA2 authentication, these WPA

 

encryption modes can be set: TKIP, AES, or TKIP + AES. AES

 

(Advanced Encryption Standard) provides the strongest

 

encryption, while TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

 

provides strong encryption with improved compatibility. The

 

TKIP + AES mode allows both TKIP and AES-capable clients to

 

connect.

 

 

WPA Pre-Shared Key

Sets the WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK). This is either an 8-63

Show Key

ASCII character string or a 64-digit hex number. This is

 

specified when the Network Authentication method is WPA-

 

PSK.

 

Show Key - When selected, the WPA Pre-Shared Key is

 

displayed.

 

 

RADIUS Server

Sets the RADIUS server IP address to use for client

 

authentication using the dotted-decimal format

 

(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

 

 

RADIUS Port

Sets the UDP port number of the RADIUS server. The default

 

is 1812.

 

 

RADIUS Key

Sets the shared secret for the RADIUS connection. The key is

 

a 0 to 255 character ASCII string.

 

 

Group Key Rotation Interval

Sets the WPA Group Rekey Interval in seconds. Set to zero to

 

disable periodic rekeying.

 

 

WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval

The re-authentication interval is the amount of time the

 

wireless router can wait before re-establishing authentication

 

with the CPE.

 

 

WEP Encryption

WEP Encryption enables or disables Wired Equivalent Privacy

 

encryption.

 

 

Shared Key Authentication

The WEP protocol uses the Shared Key Authentication

 

protocol where the CPE sends an authentication request to

 

the access point. Then the access point sends a challenge text

 

to the CPE.

 

The CPE uses either the 64-bit or 128-bit key to encrypt the

 

challenge text and sends the encrypted text to the access

 

point. The access point decrypts the encrypted text and then

 

compares the decrypted message with the original challenge

 

text. If they are the same, the access point lets the CPE

 

connect; if it doesn’t match, then the access point does not let

 

the CPE connect.
