Section 3 - Software Configuration
Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date wireless
encryption method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option.
WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP).
Personal requires only the use of a pass-phrase (Shared Secret) for security.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
WPA Mode:
WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients
that will be used with the router only support the older
standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger
IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the “WPA2” option, the
router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client
only supports WPA. With the “WPA2 Only” option, the router
associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type:
Select the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options to
choose from are Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Both (TKIP and
AES).
Group Key Update
Interval:
Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed.
Pre-Shared Key:
Enter the shared secret used here. This secret phrase needs
to be the same on all of the wireless clients for them to be
able to connect to the wireless network successfully.
