Authentication
:
Place
a
check
in
this
box
if
you
would
like
to
use
RADIUS
authentication.
This
option
works
with
a
RADIUS
Server
to
authenticate
wireless
clients.
Wireless
clients
should
have
established
the
necessary
credentials
before
attempting
to
authenticate
to
the
Server
through
this
Gateway.
Furthermore,
it
may
be
necessary
to
configure
the
RADIUS
Server
to
allow
this
Gateway
to
authenticate
users.
You
will
then
be
required
to
specify
the
RADIUS
Server’s
IP
address,
port,
and
password.

Select
the

radio
button
if
your
wireless
network
uses
WPA
encryption.
WPA
(WiFi
Protected
Access)
was
designed
to
improve
upon
the
security
features
of
WEP
(Wired
Equivalent
Privacy).
The
technology
is
designed
to
work
with
existing
Wi
‐
Fi
products
that
have
been
enabled
with
WEP.
WPA
provides
improved
data
encryption
through
the
Temporal
Key
Integrity
Protocol
(TKIP)
,
which
scrambles
the
keys
using
a
hashing
algorithm
and
by
adding
an
integrity
checking
feature
which
makes
sure
that
keys
haven’t
been
tampered
with.
WPA
Type
:
Select
TKIP,
AES,
or
WPA2
Mixed.
The
encryption
algorithm
used
to
secure
the
data
communication.
TKIP
(Temporal
Key
Integrity
Protocol)
provides
per
‐
packet
key
generation
and
is
based
on
WEP.
AES
(Advanced
Encryption
Standard)
is
a
very
secure
block
based
encryption.
Note
that,
if
the
bridge
uses
the
AES
option,
the
bridge
can
associate
with
the
access
point
only
if
the
access
point
is
also
set
to
use
only
AES.
