Using WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security

protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in response to the weaknesses of WEP.

Selecting WPA as the Encryption Method allows you to choose WPA version, WPA

Authentication and WPA Algorithm. This section discusses WPA-PSK (pre-shared key).

For information on WPA-Enterprise (WPA-802.1X), see “Customizing 802.1X Settings”

on page 69

Use of WPA-PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) allows automatic key generation

based on a single passphrase. WPA-PSK provides strong security for home and small

offices and does not require a RADIUS server, but may not be supported on older

wireless devices. In some cases, the older devices can be upgraded with adapters to

take advantage of WPA-PSK.

If you configure the WLAN with WPA-PSK, wireless users will not be able to connect

to your WLAN unless their devices support WPA-PSK and are configured with the

same passphrase.

Authentication Mode Open is the only authentication mode

available with WEP encryption.

Encryption Strength • 64 bit: Specify the key with 10 hexadecimal

digits or 5 ASCII characters.

• 128 bit: Specify the key with 26

hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.

The 128-bit cryptography is stronger

privacy protection for your network and is

recommended if you use WEP.

Key Entry Method • Hexadecimal: The encryption key only

accepts hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F).

• ASCII Text: The encryption key accepts

ASCII characters.

WEP Key Enter the key manually according to the Key

Entry Method and Encryption Strength

settings.

Key Index Choose the index, from “1” to “4”, that the

WEP key is to be stored in.
