The WPA security mode is a security subset of WPA2. It requires the presence of a RADIUS server
on your network in order to validate user credentials. This encryption standard is slightly older than
WPA2 and therefore is more compatible with older devices.
Click Network Setting > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More Secure as the
security level. Then select WPA or WPA2 from the Security Mode list.

Timer
Enter how often the external authentication server requires a connected wireless client
to reauthenticate itself to the server again.
Network Re-auth
Interval
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in order
to stay connected.
This field is available only when you select WPA2 as security mode. If wireless station
authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the
RADIUS server has priority.
WPA Compatible This field is only available for WPA2. Select this if you want the AMG1302/AMG1202-
TSeries to support WPA and WPA2 simultaneously.
