z Open

Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is

an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the

MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router

containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may occur

is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.

z Shared

Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the

authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared

key is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of

shared key authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN

environments.

Fill in the key, Ex 12345678

z WPA

If you select HEX, you have to fill in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits.

If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63.

Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is

consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.

z WPA2-PSK

WPA2-PSK user AES and TKIP for Same the encryption, the others are same as

the WPA2-PSK.
