Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router

Wireless > Wireless Security

The Wireless Security settings configure the security of

your wireless network. There are six wireless security

mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,

WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,

and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which

is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP

stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands

for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These

six are briefly discussed here. For detailed information

on setting up wireless security networks, refer to

“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”

Wireless Security

Security Mode

Select the security method for your wireless network. If

you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,

Disabled.

WPA Personal

NOTE:

If you are using WPA or WPA2, each

device in your wireless network MUST use the

same WPA or WPA2 method and shared key, or

else the network will not function properly.

WPA Personal

Encryption

WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP

and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of

algorithm, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP.

Passphrase

Enter a passphrase of 8-63 characters.

Key Renewal

Enter a Key Renewal period, which instructs

the Router how often it should change the encryption

keys. The default Key Renewal period is 3600 seconds.

WPA Enterprise

This option features WPA used in coordination with a

RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS

server is connected to the Router.)

WPA Enterprise

Encryption

WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP

and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of

algorithm, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP.

RADIUS Server

Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS

server.

Enter the port number of the RADIUS

server. The default value is 1812.

Shared Key

Enter the key shared between the Router

and the server.
