Wireless Security

Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable. There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the rst security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than now encryption. WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advanced WPA2 standard wireless networks have nally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.
Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will return a success
message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from the wireless client.
Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a successful or a denial packet back to the wireless client.
Encryption:
Use the radio button to disable or enable encryption.
Key Type*:
Key Size:
Key Index (1-4):
Select HEX or ASCII.
Select 64 Bits or 128 Bits.
Select the 1st through the 4th key to be the active key.
Key:
Input up to four keys for encryption. You will select one of these keys in the Key Index drop-down menu.
**Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. *ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using numbers ranging from 0-127.

Section 3 - Conguration

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)

WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA-EAP requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication. WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network.
Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.
WPA2 is an upgrade of WPA. WPA2 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2 has two variations called WPA2-Personal (PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) which is the same as found with WPA.
WPA Mode:
Cipher Type:

When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use dierent algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2.
When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu.
Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. The default value of 1800 is recommended.

Select 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
Use the drop-down menu to Enable the Band Steering function. When the wireless clients support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and the 2.4GHz signal is not strong enough, the device will use 5GHz as higher priority.
Enter the time in seconds to specify the interval of updating information.
The Band Steering dierence value is equal to the number of 5GHz wireless client connections minus the number of 2.4GHz wireless client con­nections. If the number of 5GHz wireless client connections minus the number of 2.4GHz wire­less client connections exceed this value, the extra 5GHz wireless client connections will be forced to connect to the 2.4GHz band and not the 5GHz band.
