Page 71 highlights

Wireless-N Broadband Router PSK/PSK2-Personal. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES, and enter a password in the Pre-shared Key field of 8-63 characters. Enter a Key Renewal period time between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which instructs the Router or other device how often it should change the encryption keys. PSK/PSK2-Enterprise. This method is PSK or PSK2 used in coordination with a RADIUS server. Enter the IP address and port number of the RADIUS server. Then enter the key shared between the Router and its RADIUS server. Then enter a Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router or other device how often it should change the encryption keys. RADIUS. This method is WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. Enter the IP address and port number of the RADIUS server. Then enter the key shared between the Router and its RADIUS server. Enter the WEP settings. Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your network's performance, but if you are transmitting sensitive data over your network, encryption should be used. These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you are enjoying the most flexible and convenient technology Linksys has to offer.

. This method is PSK or PSK2 used in coordination with a RADIUS server. Enter the IP
address and port number of the RADIUS server. Then enter the key shared between the Router and its RADIUS
server. Then enter a Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router or other device how often it should
change the encryption keys.
RADIUS
. This method is WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. Enter the IP address and port
number of the RADIUS server. Then enter the key shared between the Router and its RADIUS server. Enter the
