Network Authentication
Select in the drop-down list the security mode adapted to
your residential gateway’s wireless network:
• Open: any wireless station can request
authentication.
• Shared: each wireless station is assumed to have
received a secret shared key over a secure channel
that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network
communications channel.
• 802.1X: with IEEE 802.1x authentication, you can
specify whether the computer attempts authentication
to the network if the computer requires access to
network resources whether a user is logged on or not.
• WPA: WPA encrypts information, and it also checks to
make sure that the network security key has not been
modified.
• WPA2: allows users to pre-authenticate. This feature
allows the roaming to occur more rapidly than a
traditional roam.
•
WPA-PSK
/
WPA2-PSK
:
enables users to easily set up
and manage a secured WLAN and doesn't require an
authentication server.
Note that WPA2-PSK can only use AES with WPA2.
• Mixed WPA2/WPA: this option enables WPA2 or
WPA wireless devices to connect to your Box.
• Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK: this option enables WPA2
and WPA clients to authenticate using a PSK
(Pre-Shared Key) instead of a RADIUS server.
