• WPA-802.1x provides RADIUS server authentication support. See RADIUS Server

authentication below.

• WPA-PSK provides Wireless Protected Access, the most secure option for your wire-

less network. See “

WPA-PSK” on page 81. This mechanism provides the best data pro-

tection and access control.

Be sure that your Wi-Fi client adapter supports this option. Not all Wi-Fi clients support

WPA-PSK.

RADIUS Server authentication

RADIUS servers allow external authentication of users by means of a remote authentica-

tion database. The remote authentication database is maintained by a Remote Authentica-

tion Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server. In conjunction with Wireless User Authentication,

you can use a RADIUS server database to authenticate users seeking access to the wire-

less services, as well as the authorized user list maintained locally within the Gateway.

If you select WPA-802.1x, the screen expands to allow you to enter your RADIUS server

information.
