WL-500gP Wireless Router User Manual
Authentication
The authentication methods supported by WL-500gP include: Open, shared key,
WPA-PSK, WPA, and Radius with 80.211x.
Open: This option disables authentication protection for wireless network. Under
Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g client can connect to your wireless network.
Shared: This mode uses the the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.
WPA and WPA-PSK: WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two
security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and WPA-PSK for home and SOHO
users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the already existing RADIUS server for
authentication; for home and SOHO user, it provides Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for
user identification. The Pre-Shared Key consists of 8 to 64 characters.
Radius with 802.11x: Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server
for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption mothods: WPA adopts
TKIP or AES encryption methods, while Radius with 802.11x does not provide
encryption.
When authentication and encryption are set, click Finish to save the settings and
restart the wireless router.

computer within a LAN into a server by allowing data
packets of certain service, such as HTTP, from Internet.
