ReAuthentication

Timer

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in

order to stay connected.
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is

1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively, enter “0” to turn reauthentication off.

Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a

RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the
RADIUS server has priority.

Group Key

Update Timer

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key

out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically

changing the group key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.

Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK mode.

The ZyXEL Device‘s default is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
