` 802.11i (WPA2)
The IEEE 802.11i is a new standard that enhances the 802.11 MAC security and authentication by stronger
encryption,
authentication, and key management. The WPA2 and 802.11i are virtually identical. The WPA2 is
the
Wi-Fi Alliance base on the IEEE 802.11i and runs a certification program that grants the WPA2 brand
based
on equipment’s support of the important feature of 802.11i.
Besides the Pre-authentication function, setting WPA2 is most same as WPA,
- Pre-authentication
Enable pre-authentication to allow a client to authenticate in advance with the AP
before the client is associated with it. Allowing the AP to pre-authenticate a client decreases
the transition time when a client roams between APs.
Once you have selected the options you will use, click Apply to save all setting.

this case, input the MAC addresses of all
the PC cards that will be authorized to
access this AP.
` If Filtering is enabled and Filter Type is
“ Allow AII Except Those Listed Below ”,
those
devices with a MAC address
which has been entered in the MAC Address
listing will NOT be able to communicate
with the AP.In this case, navigate to the
report: Wireless Clients and copy the MAC
address of any wireless Client that you want
to exclude from communication with the AP
and input those MAC Addresses to the MAC
Address list.
