Chapter 6 Wireless LAN

6.10.3 Security Mode Guideline

The following is a general guideline in choosing the security mode for your NWA.

Use WPA2-PSK if you have WPA2-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.

Use WPA2 security if you have WPA2-aware wireless clients and a RADIUS server. WPA2 has user authentication and improved data encryption over WEP.

If you don’t have WPA2-aware wireless clients, then use WEP key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security. You can manually enter 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys.

More information on Wireless Security can be found in Appendix E on page 178.
