Wireless Security

This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure SSID" button on the Wireless screen. There

are 3 options for Wireless security:

• Disabled - no data encryption is used.

• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.

• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard

than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations

support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater

security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

• Mixed WPA-PSK/WAP2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows

clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK OR WPA2-PSK.

• 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 en-

crypted 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 re-

quired.

• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically

generated, so no key input is required.
