WPA Pre-Shared Key
If you do not have a RADIUS server, Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES, enter a password in the Pre-Shared
key field of 8-32 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which
instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
WPA RADIUS
WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Router.) First, select the type of WPA algorithm, TKIP or AES. Enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port
number, along with a key shared between the Router and the server. Last, enter a Group Key Renewal period,
which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
