WPA Compatible

Check this box if you want your G-1000 to support WPA2 and WPA at the same

 

time. This might reduce the performance of the device, however.

WPA Group Key

The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA2-

Update Timer

PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA2 key management)
