WPA/WAPI
passphrase
This field displays when you select WPA2-PSK or Mixed WPA2/WPA -PSK.
Use the automatically generated password or enter 16 to 63 alphanumeric characters
(0-9, A-Z, with no spaces). It must contain both letters and numbers and is case-
sensitive. Click the link to display the password.
WPA Group
Rekey Interval
Set the rate at which the AP (if using WPA2/WPA-PSK key management) or RADIUS
server (if using WPA(2) key management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The
re-keying process is the WPA(2) equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for
an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.
WPA/WAPI
Encryption
Select the encryption type (AES or TKIP+AES) for data encryption.
Select AES if your wireless clients can all use AES.
Select TKIP+AES to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or AES.
WEP Encryption This field displays when you set Network Authentication to Open. Enable WEP
encryption to scramble the wireless data transmissions between the wireless stations
and the access points (AP) to keep network communications private. Both the wireless
stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.
Note: WEP is extremely insecure. Attackers can break it using widely-available
software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more effective security
mechanism.
Encryption
Strength
If you are using WEP encryption, select 64-bit or 128-bit to set the length of the
encryption key.
Current
Network Key
This field displays when you enable WEP encryption. Configure up to four 64-bit or
128-bit WEP keys. Use this field to select which one the network uses.
Network Key
1~4
These fields display when you enable WEP encryption. WEP uses a network key to
encrypt data. The Router and wireless clients must use the same network key
(password).
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure at least one password.
