Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster WPA Personal. If you do not have a RADIUS server, select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES, enter a password in the Pre-Shared key field of 8-63 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which instructs the AP or other device how often it should change the encryption keys. WPA Enterprise. WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the AP or other device.) First, select the type of WPA algorithm, TKIP or AES. Enter the RADIUS server's IP Address and port number, along with a key shared between the device and the server. Last, enter a Group Key Renewal period, which instructs the device how often it should change the encryption keys. WPA2. Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) is the latest security standard in Wi-Fi security. Two modes are available: Personal and Enterprise. WPA2 always uses AES (Advanced Encryption System) for stronger data encryption. WPA2 Personal. If you do not have a RADIUS server, enter a password in the Pre-Shared key field of 8-63 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which instructs the AP or other device how often it should change the encryption keys. WPA2 Enterprise. WPA2 used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the AP or other device.) First, enter the RADIUS server's IP Address and port number, along with a key shared between the device and the server. Then, enter a Group Key Renewal period, which instructs the device how often it should change the encryption keys. WPA2 Mixed. WPA2 Mixed modes provide users an upgrade path from WPA to WPA2. You can have client devices running both WPA and WPA2 and the Access Point will automatically select the security method used by the client. 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.
