thus prevents the types of attacks that compromised WEP; while AES provide stronger
data protection than TKIP. WPA2 is a security standard that aims to replace WPA. AES
is the only option in cipher mode in WPA2 security. If AP is configured with WPA-auto
authentication, it supports clients using either WPA or WPA2 authentication, AES+TKIP
is the only option in cipher mode in WPA-auto security.
WPA-Enterprise (WPA) or WPA2-Enterprise (WPA2) is designed for enterprise networks
and requires a RADIUS authentication server. This requires a more complicated setup,
but provides additional security.

: WPA, WPA2 or WPA-auto.
Cipher
Mode
: Specify data encryption scheme; there are 3 options: “TKIP”, “AES”,
and “TKIP + AES”. AES is the only option in cipher mode in WPA2 security. TKIP causes
bad performance on 802.11n network.
