WPA
WPA or Wireless Protection Access is a new an improved standard of wireless security. WPA
offers encryption keys of up to 256-bits that automatically change frequently. On this router, the
WPA utilizes the RADIUS protocol, which utilizes a server to authorize the user by matching a
Shared Secret password listed in its RADIUS database. There are two choices for the user to
choose from. WPA and WPA2 which uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). In order to
use this function, a RADIUS server must be established on a computer on the LAN. This RADIUS
server must be configured to have the same key as the users on the LAN accessing it.
RADIUS Server IP – Enter the IP address of the remote RADIUS server through which you will
be authenticated.
Port – Enter the virtual port number to which to connect through the RADIUS server. Common
port numbers for RADIUS are 1812 and 1813.
Shared Secret – Enter the password which will be used to authenticate you on the wireless
network. This password must be the same on the RADIUS server in order for you to be authorized.
(Note: For the client implementation of this function, please see the user manual for the
associated client PC)
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) uses the same encryption as the WPA but is implemented differently.
All devices on the wireless network share the same key (Passphrase) to activate the WPA
security. There are two choices for the user to choose from. WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK which
uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). To utilize, select one of the previous choices,
enter the Passphrase, confirm it in the second field and click Apply.
