WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection
of the encryption methods will depend on the clients.
Use 802.1x
Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user
must use a valid account to log in to this wireless router
before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is
processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to
authenticate a user by IEEE 802.1x.
WEP-64Bits
WEP is a lower level of security than WPA, and supports
64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless
data. The longer key length will provide higher security.
When “WEP-64Bits” is selected, you need to enter
exactly 5 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10
hexadecimal digits (“0-9,” “a-f”) for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits
When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you need to enter
exactly 13 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26
hexadecimal digits (“0-9,” “a-f”) for each Key (1-4).
WPA Authentication
Mode
There are two types of authentication mode for WPA.
• Enterprise (RADIUS) uses an external RADIUS server
to perform user authentication. To use RADIUS, enter
the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port
(default is 1812) and the shared secret from the
RADIUS server. Refer to the “Authentication RADIUS
Server” setting below for RADIUS setting.
• Personal (Pre-Shared Key) authentication is based on a
shared secret that is known only by the parties involved.
To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, select the key format and
enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key Format” and
“Pre-Shared Key” settings.
Pre-Shared Key
Format
You can select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F,” “a-f” and “0-9” range) to
be the Pre-shared Key. For example:
Passphrase: ”iamguest”
Hexadecimal Digits: “12345abcde”
Pre-Shared Key
Enter 8-63 characters as the “Pre-Shared Key.”
Authentication
Enter the port (default is 1812), the IP address and the
