client only supports WPA. With the "WPA2 Only" option, the router associates only with clients that

also support WPA2 security.

Cipher Type: The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced

Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. With the "TKIP and AES" option, the

router negotiates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available.

Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast

data is changed.

Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and

multicast data is changed.

WPA-Personal

This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK).

Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII

(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It

cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and

should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique

for each wireless client.

WPA-Enterprise

This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have

established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this

Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to

authenticate users.

Authentication Timeout: Amount of time before a client will be required to re-authenticate.

RADIUS Server IP Address: The IP address of the authentication server.

RADIUS Server Port: The port number used to connect to the authentication server.

RADIUS Server Shared Secret: A pass-phrase that must match with the authentication server.

Wireless MAC Filtering

Choose the type of MAC filtering needed.

Turn MAC Filtering Disable: When "Disable" is selected, MAC addresses are not used to control

network access.

Add MAC Filtering Rule

Use this section to add MAC addresses to the list below.

MAC Address

Enter the MAC address of a computer that you want to control with MAC filtering. Computers that have

obtained an IP address from the router's DHCP server will be in the DHCP Client List. Select a device

from the drop down menu.
