Configure RADIUS Server Settings
For authentication, accounting, or both authentication and accounting using RADIUS, you
need to configure primary servers and optional secondary servers. These RADIUS server
settings can apply to all devices that are connected to the wireless access point.
You can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 servers. In the IPv4 Radius Server Settings section,
e
nter IPv4 addresses only; in the IPv6 Radius Server Settings section, enter IPv6 addresses
only.

Setting Descriptions
Data Encryption TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method
used with WPA. You can also use TKIP with WPA2.
Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. NETGEAR
recommends
WPA2 authentication with AES encryption if you want to use the
11n rates and speed.
AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the st
andard encryption method used
with WPA2.
Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the
WNDAP620 wireless
access point does not support WPA with AES.
TKIP + AES TKIP + AES supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For
uni
cast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
clients use AES.
For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP
+ AES is the only supported data
encryption method.
Passphrase Enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters
