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

There are three options for the

authentication type:
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.
EPA/TLS: EPA/TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer

Security) is a follow-on to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It provides strong

security, but relies on client certificates for user authentication.
LEAP: LEAP (Light 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.
