• Wireless: Security: WPA/ WPA2/ WPA2 Mix
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) is a subset of IEEE802.11i and provides better data
encryption over WEP and optional authentication. WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access 2), also
known as IEEE 802.11i, has improved data encryption and user authentication compared
to WPA. For AES, WPA2 uses a 256-bit block data encryption.
Encryption – Select WPA, WPA2 or WPA2 Mix (for both WPA and WPA2).
Use 802.1x Authentication – Select this option to enable IEEE 802.1x for user
authentication.
WPA Authentication Mode – Specify the authentication mode to use.
• Select Enterprise (RADIUS) if you have an external RADIUS (Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service) server to authenticate a user.
• Select Personal (Pre-Shared Key) if you do not have a RADIUS server. All wireless
devices in the same wireless network must use the same pre-shared key.
WPA/ WPA2 Cipher Suite – Specify an encryption method to use.
• Select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) that uses a stronger encryption
algorithm and protects against hackers with MIC (Message Integrity Check).
• Select AES (Advanced Encryption System) that uses symmetric 128-bit block data
encryption.
Pre-Shared Key Format – Specify how you want to enter the keys. Select Hex to enter
hexadecimal format (that starts with 0x). Select ASCII to enter alphanumerical characters
(a-z, A-Z, 0-9) for the keys.
Pre-Shared Key – Enter between 8 to 32 characters for the pre-shared key.
Note: All wireless devices in the same wireless network must use the same pre-
shared key.
Apply Changes – Click Apply Changes to save the changes. The Wireless-G Router
will reboot to make the changes take effect.
Reset – Click Reset to undo the changes.
Help – Click Help to display on-line help information in a pop-up screen.
