7.2.4 WPA(2) Authentication
The WPA2 security mode is currently the most robust form of encryption for wireless networks. It
requires a RADIUS server to authenticate user credentials and is a full implementation the security
protocol. Use this security option for maximum protection of your network. However, it is the least
backwards compatible with older devices.
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.

Group Key Update
Timer
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the RADIUS server sends a new
group key out to all clients.
Encryption This field displays the encryption type for data encryption.
If you choose WPA-PSK as the security mode, the AMG1302-T11C uses TKIP for data
encryption.
If you choose WPA2-PSK as the security mode and enable WPA-PSK Compatible, the
AMG1302-T11C uses either TKIP and AES (TKIPAES MIX) for data encryption.
If you choose WPA2-PSK as the security mode but disable WPA-PSK Compatible, the
AMG1302-T11C uses AES for data encryption.
