The international industry standard IEEE 802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) enable access points to carry out reliable and secure access checks. The access information can be managed centrally on a RADIUS server and can be called up by the access point on demand.
This technology also enables the secure transmission and the regular automatic changing of WEP keys. In this way, IEEE 802.1x improves the security of WPA2.
The IEEE-802.1x technology has already been fully integrated since Windows XP. Client software exists for other operating systems.

- Regularly update authentication Here you activate regular re-authentication. If a new authentication starts, the user remains registered during the negotiation. A typical value as a re-authentication interval is 3,600 seconds.
- Re-authentication interval The interval for regular re-authentication.
- Activate dynamic re-keying and key transmission Here you activate the regular generation and transmission of a dynamic WEP key.
- Re-keying interval Interval for the regular generation of the key.
