To configure WPA, click Security under Radio A or Radio G. Select one of the VAP
interfaces by clicking More. Select one of the WPA options in the Authentication
Setup table, and then configure the parameters displayed beneath the table.
The WPA configuration parameters are described below:
Data Encryption Mode – You must enable data encryption in order to enable all
types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point.
Pre-Authentication – When using WPA2 over 802.1X, pre-authentication can be
enabled, which allows clients to roam to a new access point and be quickly
associated without performing full 802.1X authentication. (Default: Disabled)
Authentication Setup – To use WPA or WPA2, set the access point to one of the
following options. If a WPA/WPA2 mode that operates over 802.1X is selected
(WPA, WPA2, WPA-WPA2-mixed, or WPA-WPA2-PSK-mixed), the 802.1X settings
and RADIUS server details need to be configured. Be sure you have also configured
a RADIUS server on the network before enabling authentication. If a WPA/WPA2
Pre-shared Key mode is selected (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK), be sure to specify the
key string.
