12.3.2 WPA Security
If you select WPA from the Wireless Security drop-down menu (Wireless > Security), the following screen will
appear. If you change the settings in this screen, click save and then OK. If you click reset or Cancel, the screen
will return to its previous settings.
IMPORTANT: WPA2 is the most robust security method available, and WPA2 is recommended if the wireless
stations support it. WPA is a good second choice.
Wireless Security Click this drop-down menu to select the wireless security option for your Gateway. By default,
the Gateway is set to WEP.
Disabled: Disables wireless security on the Gateway.
WPA: The Gateway uses enhanced encryption methods for privacy. A shared key is
used as a starting point. This key can then be regularly changed and rotated
automatically so that the same encryption key is never used twice.
WEP: The Gateway uses encryption based off a 64-, 128-, or 256-bit key for privacy.
Authentication Click this drop-down menu to select the method of authentication for your Gateway. By
default, the Gateway is set to Personal (Pre-shared Key).
Personal (Pre-shared Key): WPA stations share a pre-shared key (string format) with
the Router and do not authenticate with the RADIUS server.
Enterprise (802.1x): WPA stations authenticate with the RADIUS server using EAP-
TLS over 802.1x, a standard for passing extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for
authentication purposes. EAP is used to communicate authentication information
between the supplicant and the authentication server. With 802.1x EAP messages are
packaged in Ethernet frames, rather than using and PPP.
WPA Type Click this drop-down menu to select the WPA Type.
WPA: Enables stations that support WPA v.1 to connect to the AP.
WPA2: Enables stations that support WPA v.2 to connect to the AP.
WPA Mixed: Enables stations that support WPA v.1/WPA v.2 to connect to the AP.
WPA2 Pre-
Authentication
Click this check box to enable the WPA2 Pre-Authentication feature. By default, WPA2 Pre-
Authentication is disabled (uncheked).
Data Encryption Click this drop-down menu to select the Data Encryption type.
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.
