WPA-Personal. If you do not have a RADIUS server, select the type of algorithm you want to use, TKIP or AES,

and enter a password in the Passphrase field of 8-63 characters.

WPA-Enterprise. WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS

server is connected to the Router or other device.) WPA-Enterprise offers two encryption methods, TKIP and

AES, with dynamic encryption keys.

Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your network’s performance, but if you are transmitting

sensitive data over your network, encryption should be used.

These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you are enjoying the most flexible

and convenient technology Linksys has to offer.
