Description
Guest Network (Select)
Select which guest network to configure.
Guest Network
(Enable/Disable)
Select to enable or disable the guest network selected.
Guest Network Name
Enter a new guest network name, if desired. This SSID
name is broadcast from the device and is used to connect
to the wireless network.
Closed Network
If Enable is selected, this will hide the SSID name. When
nearby wireless clients try to scan the SSID, it will not
discover this hidden SSID name, unless the user
manually adds the SSID to the wireless client.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE
802.11i standard. Key differences between WPA and
WEP are user authentication and improved data
encryption.
WPA-PSK
If you don't have an external RADIUS server you should
use WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) that only requires
a single (identical) password entered into wireless
gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords
match, a client will be granted access to the wireless
LAN.
WPA2
Advanced protocol, certified through Wi-Fi Alliance's
WPA2 program, implements the mandatory elements of
802.11i. In particular, it introduces a new AES-based
algorithm, CCMP, that is considered fully secure.
WPA2-PSK
If you don't have an external RADIUS server you should
use WPA2-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) that only requires
a single (identical) password entered into wireless
gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords
match, a client will be granted access to the wireless
LAN.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Switch to enable or disable WPA/WPA2 encryption.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK
are the same. The only difference between the two is that
WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of
user-specific credentials. Refer to
page 7
for the default
value of the shared key.
RADIUS Server
Input the IP address of RADIUS server, if used.
RADIUS Port
Enter a RADIUS port number when WPA or 802.1x
network authentication is selected.
RADIUS Key
Enter the RADIUS Key when WPA or 802.1x network
authentication is selected.
Group Key Rotation Interval
Allows the wireless router to generate the best possible
random group key and update all the key-management
capable stations periodically.
