ReAuthentication 

Timer

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in 

order to stay connected.  
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is 

1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively, enter “0” to turn reauthentication off. 

Group Key 

Update Timer

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key 

out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically 

changing the group key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. 

Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK mode. 

The ZyXEL Device‘s default is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
