WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means
that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies
with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.
These types of wireless security options use a pre-shared key (PSK), which is the same as a
passphrase, wireless network password, or network key. For help with WPA settings on your
wireless computer or device, see the instructions that came with your product.
Y
ou can select from the following wireless PSK security options:
• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides strong data security with
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. This option supports speeds of up to
54 Mbps only.
• WPA2-PSK [AES]. Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) provides strong data
security with
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. This is the preset wireless
security that is enabled by default. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. This option
supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps. If not all clients in your network support WPA2, select
WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode.
• WP
A-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK is referred to as mixed
mode, which supports a combination of TKIP and
AES encryption for both WPA and
WPA2 clients. For WPA clients, this option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only. For
WPA2 clients, this option supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps.
