Parameter Description
Authentication Mode
This setting has to be consistent with the wireless network that the
device intends to connect.
Open System – No authentication is needed among the wireless
network.
Shared Key – Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP
Key identified) are allowed to connecting each other.
802.1x – You can also enable IEEE 802.1x setting to use the
authentication server or certification server to authenticate client
users.
WPA-PSK – It is a special mode designed for home and small
business users who do not have access to network authentication
servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user
manually enters the starting password in their access point or
gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network.
WPA-PSK takes over automatically from that point, keeping
unauthorized users that don't have the matching password from
joining the network, while encrypting the data traveling between
authorized devices
WPA2-PSK – WPA2-PSK is also for home and small business.
The difference between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is that
WPA2-PSK provides data encryption via the AES. In contrast,
WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
WPA – WPA provides a scheme of mutual authentication using
either IEEE 802.1x / Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
authentication or pre-shared key (PSK) technology. It provides a
high level of assurance to enterprises, small businesses and home
users that data will remain protected and that only authorized
users may access their networks. For enterprises that have
already deployed IEEE 802.1x authentication, WPA offers the
advantage of leveraging existing authentication databases and
infrastructure.
WPA2 – Like WPA, WPA2 supports IEEE 802.1x / EAP
authentication or PSK technology. It also includes a new advanced
encryption mechanism using the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES). AES is required to the corporate user or government users.
