Chapter 2 Wireless LANs

NWD2205 User’s Guide

For EAP-TLS authentication type, you must first have a wired connection to the

network and obtain the certificate(s) from a certificate authority (CA). Certificates

(also called digital IDs) can be used to authenticate users and a CA issues

certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate owner.

2.3.1.3 WPA and WPA2

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2

(IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption,

authentication and key management than WPA.

Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user

authentication.

Both WPA and WPA2 improve data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. WPA and WPA2

use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block

chaining Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP) to offer stronger

encryption than TKIP.

If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2 and you have an external

RADIUS server, use WPA2 for stronger data encryption. If you don't have an

external RADIUS server, you should use WPA2-PSK (WPA2-Pre-Shared Key) that

only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless

gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a wireless client will

be granted access to a WLAN.

If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2, just use WPA or WPA-PSK

depending on whether you have an external RADIUS server or not.

Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA or WPA2.

WEP is less secure than WPA or WPA2.

2.4 WiFi Protected Setup

Your NWD2205 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set

up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined

by the WiFi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without

having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works

between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s

documentation to make sure).
