WPA, WPA2, WPA-AUTO: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) introduces the Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) that provides added security. WPA2 adds full support for 802.11i
standard and the CCMP (AES Encryption). The WPA-AUTO tries to authenticate wireless
clients using WPA or WPA2. All 3 requires a RADIUS server available in order to do
authentication (same as 802.1x), thus there is no shared key required.
Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES).
While CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations
may not be equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select “Both” to
allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the
same time.
Group Rekey Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and
the re-key interval is time period that the system will change the group key
periodically. The shorter the interval is, the better the security is. The default
is 300 sec.
