To configure WPA, click Security under Radio A or Radio G. Select one of the VAP
interfaces by clicking More. Select one of the WPA options in the Authentication
Setup table, and then configure the parameters displayed beneath the table.
The WPA configuration parameters are described below:
Encryption
– You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of
encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point.
Pre-Authentication – When using WPA2 over 802.1X, pre-authentication can be
enabled, which allows clients to roam to a new access point and be quickly
associated without performing full 802.1X authentication. (Default: Disabled)
Authentication Setup
– To use WPA or WPA2, set the access point to one of the
following options. If a WPA/WPA2 mode that operates over 802.1X is selected
(WPA, WPA2, or WPA-WPA2-mixed), the 802.1X settings and RADIUS server
details need to be configured. Be sure you have also configured a RADIUS server
on the network before enabling authentication. If a WPA/WPA2 Pre-shared Key
mode is selected (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-WPA2 PSK-Mixed), be sure to
specify the key string.
