encryption.
WPA Mixed – The router supports WPA (TKIP) and
WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of
the encryption methods will depend on the clients.
Use 802.1x
Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user
must use a valid account to login to this wireless router
before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is
processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to
authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x.
WEP-64Bits WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports
64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless
data. The longer key length will provide higher security.
When “WEP-64Bits” is selected, you have to enter
exactly 5 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10
hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you have to enter
exactly 13 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26
hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WPA Authentication
Mode
There are two types of authentication mode for WPA.
Enterprise (RADIUS) – It uses an external RADIUS
server to perform user authentication. To use RADIUS,
enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS
port (default is 1812) and the shared secret from the
RADIUS server. Please refer to “Authentication RADIUS
Server” setting below for RADIUS setting.
Personal (Pre-Shared Key) – Pre-Shared Key
authentication is based on a shared secret that is known
only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared
Key, select key format and enter a password in the “Pre-
