3.3.12 Configuration - Wireless Security
The Wireless Security page allows you to set configuration of WPA for Wi-Fi protected access
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification draft. Key
differences between WAP and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption WAP
applies IEEE 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients
using an external RADIUS database.
WPA improves data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message
Integrity Check and IEEE 802.1x. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol uses 128-bits keys that are
dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server. It includes a per-packet key
mixing function, a Message Integrity Check (MIC) named Michael, an extend initialization vector
(IV) with sequencing rules and a re-keying mechanism.
If you do not have an external RADIUS, server, you should use WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Share Key)
that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway
and wireless client. As long as the password match, a client will be granted access to a WLAN.
