Dual-Band Wireless A + G Access Point WPA Pre-Shared Key. 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 8-64 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which instructs the Access Point or other device how often it should change the encryption keys. WPA RADIUS. WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Access Point 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. RADIUS. WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Access Point 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, select a WEP key and a level of WEP encryption, and either generate a WEP key through the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually. 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.

Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks
Dual-Band Wireless A + G Access Point
WPA Pre-Shared Key
. 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 8-64 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time
between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which instructs the Access Point or other device how often it should change
the encryption keys.
WPA RADIUS
. WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS
server is connected to the Access Point 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.
RADIUS
. WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is
connected to the Access Point 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, select a WEP key and a level of WEP
encryption, and either generate a WEP key through the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.
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
