Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced wireless encryption
method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option.
WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enter-
prise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a passphrase (Pre-Shared
Key) for security.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the
clients that will be used with the router only support
the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation
of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the
WPA2 option, the router tries WPA2 first, but falls back
to WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the WPA2
Only option, the router associates only with clients that
also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type: Select the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options
to choose from are Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Both
(TKIP and.AES).
Group Key

Update Interval:

Pre-Shared Key: Enter the password to be used for the wireless
network here. This password is required by wireless
clients for them to be able to connect to the wire-
less network successfully.
