about the RADIUS server such as its IP address, port and key must be 

entered. WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption strength must 

also be selected.

z

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – Usually used for the larger enterprise 

environment, it uses a RADIUS server and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity 

Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP encryption, which is disabled). 

TKIP uses 128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and per 

packet keys). 

z

WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key) – WPA for home 

and SOHO environments using the same strong TKIP encryption, 

per-packet key construction, and key management that WPA provides in 

the enterprise environment. The main difference is that the password is 

entered manually. A Group Re-Key Interval time is also required.

z

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) – Second generation of WPA, which 

uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP as its 

encryption method. Network Re-Auth Interval is the time in which 

another key needs to be dynamically issued. 

z

WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key) – Suitable for 

home and SOHO environments, WPA2-PSK uses AES encryption and 

requires you to enter a password and a re-key interval time.

z

Mixed WPA2 / WPA – During transitional times for upgrades in the 

enterprise environment, this mixed authentication method allows 

upgraded users and users not yet upgraded to access the network via the 

router. RADIUS server information must be entered for WPA as well as a 

group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.

z

Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK – Useful during transitional times for upgrades 

in the home or SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered 

along with the group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are also 

used.
