Authentication: this is the authentication method used by clients.
If the Allowed Client Type is set to WPA/WPA2 or WPA2 Only or
WPA Only, then you should set the authentication to 802.1X or PSK.
WPA/WPA2, WPA2 Only, WPA Only (PSK)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol
(TKIP) and 802.1X mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption
and 802.1X authentication service.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) is a product certification that is
available through the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA2 certifies that wireless
equipment is compatible with the IEEE 802.11i standard. The WPA2
product certification formally replaces Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
and the other security features of the original IEEE 802.11 standard.
The goal of WPA2 certification is to support the additional mandatory
security features of the IEEE 802.11i standard that are not already
included for products that support WPA.
