Management/Certificate Settings for more details. .
WPA with RADIUS: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, with warrant (username, password and
etc.) offered by user, this kind of authentication can be realized with specific RADIUS server. This
is the common way to be adopted in large enterprise network.
WPA2 with RADIUS: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, as a new version of WPA, only all the
clients support WPA2, can it be available. If it is selected, AES encryption and RADIUS server is
required.
WPA&WPA2 with RADIUS: Available in AP mode, it provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2
(AES) for the client. If it is selected, the data encryption type must be TKIP + AES and the
RADIUS server must be set.
WPA-PSK: It is a simplified WPA mode with no need for specific authentication server. In this
so-called WPA Pre-Shared Key, all you have to do is just pre-enter a key in each WLAN node and
this is the common way to be adopted in large and middle enterprise as well as residential
network.
WPA2-PSK: As a new version of WPA, only all the clients support WPA2, can it be available. If it is
selected, the data encryption can only be AES and the passphrase is required.
WPA-PSK&WPA2-PSK: Available in AP mode, it provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES)
encryption for the client. If it is selected, the data encryption can only be TKIP + AES and the
passphrase is required.
Data Encryption
If data encryption is enabled, the key is required and only sharing the same key with other
wireless devices can the communication be established.
None: Available only when the authentication type is open system.
64 bits WEP: It is made up of 10 hexadecimal numbers.
128 bits WEP: It is made up of 26 hexadecimal numbers.
152 bits WEP: It is made up of 32 hexadecimal numbers.
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, which is a kind of dynamic encryption, is co-used with
WPA-PSK, etc.
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard, it is usually co-used with WPA2-PSK, WPA, WPA2, etc.
TKIP + AES: It allows for backwards compatibility with devices using TKIP.
