16.3.4.2 SSID/Wireless security (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
By default the wireless security is set to “No Encryption”, and other options are provided to change the encryption
accordingly as follows:
1. No Encryption: Any device can connect to the network. Not recommended.
2. WPA-PS K(Wi -Fi Protected Access): WPA is part of the wireless security standard (802.11i) standardized
by the Wi-Fi Alliance and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while the
802.11 standard was being prepared. It supports TKIP/AES encryption. The personal authentication is the
pre-shared key (PSK) that is an alphanumeric passphrase shared with the wireless peer.
3. WPA2-PS K: WPA2 is the implementation of security standard specified in the final 802.11i standard. It
supports AES encryption and this option uses pre-shared key (PSK) based authentication.
4. WPA-PSK/WPA2-P S K Mi xe d mode : Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect simultaneously
using PSK authentication.
5. WPA2-EAP : Allows you to use WPA2 with RADIUS server authentication.
