3.4 Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure SSID" button on the Wireless screen. There are 3 options
for Wireless security:
• Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP, and
provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should
use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
• Mixed WPA-PSK/WAP2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows clients to use
EITHER WPA-PSK OR WPA2-PSK.
• WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client
authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA
standard.
If this option is selected:
•
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
•
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
•
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
•
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated,
so no key input is required.
