3.4 Setting up wireless security
To protect your wireless network, you need to setup a security mechanism on your
WiFi-AP Solo. Under AP mode, only Open, Shared, and WPA-PSK are supported.
Under Station mode, all the security modes listed below are supported.
Network authentication
Network authentication uses certain types of mechanism to identify authenticated wireless
clients. WiFi-AP Solo supports the following authentication methods:
Open:
This option disables authentication protection for your wireless network.
Under the Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g wireless client can connect to
your wireless network.
Shared:
Shared means using the same WEP keys for authentication and encryption.
802.1X:
802.1X uses RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-Up User Service) server to
authenticate wireless clients with a user name and password. It can
authenticate user with different levels of access right.
WPA:
WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security
modes for Home/SOHO user and enterprise network. The former solution
adopts Pre-Shared Key for authentication, and the later uses the existing
802.1X RADIUS server in the enterprise network to process the
authentication requests.
WPA - PSK:
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the solution for home and SOHO
users who have no 802.11X authentication server within the
LAN. To setup WPA-PSK, you need to input a passphrase and let
the system generate the key. Combination of letters, numbers and non
alphnumeric charecters is recommended for ensuring security.
