Config - Authentication

This tab allows you to set the security settings to match those of your AP. It is

configurable only if you have set Network Authentication to WPA or WPA2 in

Config-Encryption tab.

Authentication Type

The authentication type methods include:
PEAP: PEAP (Protected Extensible

Authentication Protocol) authentication is a

version of Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication

between a wireless client and a server that

resides at the network operations center.
TLS: TLS (Transport Layer Security) authentication is used to create an

encrypted tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner similar

to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This

method uses digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and server.
TTLS: TTLS authentication uses certificates to authenticate the server, while

maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication

and a shared confidentiality for session WEP key.
