6.2.3 Wireless Security

Wireless Settings -> Wireless Security

You should set up the wireless security immediately to ensure the security of your data
transmission and to prevent the unauthorized access.

The easiest way to setup encryption

is to use the “Setup Wizard”. It automatically chooses the most secured and easiest
scheme for your wireless security settings

.

However, if you wish to choose your own

encryption scheme, the N.Power offers various type of encryption including WEP,
WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2, WPA2-PSK encryptions method. In general, the WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK are the most popular and secured encryption scheme.

Procedure to make encryption

Step1: Select your SSID: If you have enabled the “Multiple SSID” function, there will
be more than one SSID to choose from. Each SSID (Virtual AP) can have its own
security policy.

Step2: Select Security Policy: N.Power offers a full suite of security policy including
WEP(Pre-Shared Key), WPA(certificate), WPA-PSK(AES), WPA2-PSK(AES), and
802.1x Radius Authentication. Recently WiFi regulation prevents the use of TKIP
encryption in 11n mode. Therefore, the TKIP is only available in 11b/g mode.

We

highly recommend using WPA2-PSK AES Encryption as the easiest and very
secured scheme for encryption.

6.2.4 Access Control

Wireless Settings -> Access Control

The N.Power allows you to define a list of MAC addresses that are allowed or denied to
access the wireless network. This function is available only for Access Point and AP
Router modes. This function is available only for Access Point and Gateway modes.
