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.
