Customizing 802.1X Settings
CAUTION! Do not customize these options unless you are an experienced network
administrator or are under the guidance of an IT/support professional.
If you choose WPA as the encryption method, you have the option to set up the AP
to act as an 802.1X proxy, utilizing external authentication sources such as a
RADIUS server.
WPA Authentication PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode is suitable for home or office use.
802.1X mode uses a RADIUS server to verify user identity.
The
WPA-Auto mode offers both options for the wireless
client to choose from.
For more information on how to configure 802.1X
authentication, refer to
“Customizing 802.1X Settings” on

WPA Algorithm •
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is an older encryption
algorithm that provides stronger security than a shared
WEP key, but not as strong as the newer AES algorithm.
•
AES: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) replaces TKIP
as the default (and recommended) encryption algorithm for
modern wireless LANs.
•
Auto: Auto allows both encryption algorithms to be used
on the same WLAN. When Auto is selected, the wireless
client decides whether TKIP or AES is used. Note however
that allowing TKIP reduces the performance of the WLAN
(as broadcast packets are limited to slower transfer rates),
and is therefore not recommended.
Passphrase Enter a new passphrase between 8 and 32 characters, using
any combination of printable characters (letters, numbers,
hyphens and underscores).
