Configuration Manual

Dual-band 3x3 802.11 ac WiFi Access Point

Configure WLAN with WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK / WPA-auto-PSK

Authentication

Use of WPA or WPA2 provides enhanced security over WEP, and allows

client authentication based on either a pre-shared key (PSK), for home

or small office networks. WPA-auto-PSK is a mixed security mode which

supports multiple implementations of the WPA standard, such as WPA-

PSK and WPA2-PSK.

WLAN Security

2. Select WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK / WPA-auto-PSK on Authentication

Mode

3. Select suitable encryption mode on Cipher Mode

If Authentication Mode is WPA:

TKIP + AES

This algorithm automatically selects TKIP or AES based on the

client’s capabilities

TKIP

This algorithm provides greater compatibility with older client

devices, but is not supported by the 802.11n standard.

AES

This algorithm provides enhanced security over TKIP, and is the

only encryption algorithm supported by the 802.11i standard.

If Authentication Mode is WPA2:

AES

This algorithm provides enhanced security over TKIP, and is the

only encryption algorithm supported by the 802.11i standard.

If Authentication Mode is WPA-auto:

TKIP + AES

This algorithm automatically selects TKIP or AES based on the

client’s capabilities
