DescriptionEncryption Setting
• PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode is suitable for home or
office use.
• 802.1X mode uses a RADIUS server to verify user
identity.
• 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 page 110.
WPA Authentication
• 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.
WPA Algorithm
Enter a new passphrase between 8 and 32 characters,
using any combination of printable characters (letters,
numbers, hyphens and underscores).

Customizing 802.1X Settings
802.1X (also known as WPA-Enterprise), is an authentication method by which users
are authenticated using an external RADIUS server.
CAUTION! Do not customize these options unless you are an experienced network
administrator or are under the guidance of an IT/support professional.
