This table contains the following columns:
●
Shows the interface to which the settings relate.
●
Select the type of authentication.
Note
IEEE 802.11n devices
With devices according to the IEEE 802.11n standard, only WPA2 encryption is possible.
– Open System
Without authentication
– WPA-PSK
WPA authentication with WPA key. Enter the WPA key in "WPA(2) Pass Phrase".
– WPA (RADIUS)
WPA authentication with RADIUS server. You configure the access data on the next
Basic Wizard page.
– WPA2-PSK
WPA2 authentication with WPA2 key. Enter the WPA2 key in "WPA(2) Pass Phrase".
– WPA2 (RADIUS)
WPA2 authentication with RADIUS server. You configure the access data on the next
Basic Wizard page.
●
Select the encryption method.
– AUTO
AES or TKIP is used depending on the capability of the other station.
– TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
A symmetrical encryption method with the RC4 algorithm (Ron’s Code 4). In contrast
to the weak WEP encryption, TKIP uses changing keys derived from a main key. TKIP
can also recognize corrupted data frames.
– AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Strong symmetrical block encryption method based on the Rijndael algorithm that
further improves the functions of TKIP.
