appears, as shown below.

Figure 3-10: Security Settings menu

The list below identifies the various basic wireless security options. A full explanation of these

standards is available in Appendix B, “Wireless Networking Basics”.

• Network Authentication: Specifies the Authentication type used. The default is Open

System. Select the desired option:

– Open System – If selected, you have the option of using WEP encryption, or no

encryption. This is the default.

– Shared Key – If selected, you must use WEP; at least one shared key must be entered.

– Legacy 802.1x – If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Settings Screen.

– WPA with Radius – If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Settings Screen.

– WPA-PSK – If selected, you must use TKIP encryption. Enter the WPA passphrase

(Network key).

– WPA2-PSK – WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support

WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption. Enter the WPA passphrase (Network

key).

– WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK – This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with AES)

or WPA2 (with TKIP). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES. The WPA passphrase

(Network key) must also be entered.

Note: All options are available if using Access Point mode. In other modes (e.g. Repeater or

Bridge) some options may be unavailable.
