Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced wireless encryption method used
today. This is the recommended wireless security option. WPA supports two authen-
tication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the
use of a passphrase (Pre-Shared Key) for security.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
WPA Mode: WPA is an older standard; select this option if the clients
that will be used with the router only support this older stan-
dard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger
IEEE 802.11i security standard. Select Auto (WPA or WPA2)
to have the security set automatically depending on the
compatibility of connected clients. With the WPA2 option,
the router tries WPA2 rst, but falls back to WPA if the client
only supports WPA. With the WPA2 Only option, the router
associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type: Select the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options to
choose from are Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), or Both (TKIP and AES).
Group Key Update
Interval:
Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed.
Pre-Shared Key: Enter the password to be used for the wireless network here.
This password is required by wireless clients for them to be
able to connect to the wireless network successfully.
