Security

SSID Selection

Select the SSID that the security settings will apply to.

Broadcast SSID

If Disabled, the device will not broadcast the SSID. It will be invisible to wireless clients.

WMM

Wi-Fi Multi-Media is a Quality of Service protocol which prioritizes traffic in

the order according to voice, video, best effort, and background.
Note that in certain situations, WMM needs to be enabled to achieve 11n transfer speeds.

Encryption

The encryption method to be applied.

You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS.

Disabled - no data encryption is used.

WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.

WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and

provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use

WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the AES

(Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client

authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the

WPA standard.
If this option is selected:

• This Access Point must have a “client login” on the Radius Server.

• Each user must have a “user login” on the Radius Server.

• Each user’s wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.

• All data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no

key input is required
