WPA-802.1x
WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the
client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using
the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically gener-
ated, so no key input is required.
802.1x
This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryption. If
possible, you should use WPA-802.1x instead, because WPA encryption is much stronger
than WEP encryption.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select the
WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
