Field Description
WPA Versions Select the types of client stations you want to support:
WPA
WPA2
Both
WPA: If all client stations on the network support the original WPA but
none support the newer WPA2, then select WPA.
WPA2: If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest using
WPA2 which provides the best security per the IEEE 802.11i standard.
Both: If you have a mix of clients, some of which support WPA2 and others
which support only the original WPA, select both WPA and WPA2. This lets
both WPA and WPA2 client stations associate and authenticate, but uses the
more robust WPA2 for clients who support it. This WPA configuration
allows more interoperability, at the expense of some security.
Enable
pre-authentication
If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or both WPA and WPA2, you
can enable pre- authentication for WPA2 clients.
Click Enable pre-authentication if you want WPA2 wireless clients to
send pre-authentication packet. The pre-authentication information will be
relayed from the access point the client is currently using to the target access
point. Enabling this feature can help speed up authentication for roaming
clients who connect to multiple access points.
This option does not apply if you selected WPA for WPA Versions because
the original WPA does not support this feature.
