6. Select any of these wireless
Mode
options to determine the
types of wireless devices that can connect to your wireless
router:
• 2.4 GHz:
802.11 b/g, 802.11 b/g/n, 802.11 b/g/n/ax
• 5 GHz:
802.11a, 802.11a/n/ac, 802.11a/n/ac/ax
7. From the
Security Mode
dropdown list, select the
authentication method for your wireless security. If you select
WPA-PSK (Pre-shared Key)/WPA2-PSK (with TKIP or AES) as
the authentication method, key in security passkey in the
Network Password
field.
•
Open (risky)
: This option provides no security.
Choose WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (with TKIP or AES) or mixed
mode as the authentication method to provides strong
security.
•
WPA-PSK (TKIP)
•
WPA-PSK (AES)
•
WPA2-PSK (AES)(Recommended)
•
WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES)
•
WPA-WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES)
IMPORTANT!
The IEEE 802.11n/ac/ax standard prohibits using
High Throughput with WPA/WPA2-PSK with TKIP as the unicast
cipher. If you use these encryption methods, your data rate will
drop to IEEE 802.11a/IEEE 802.11g connection. Only WPA/WPA2-
PSK with AES authentication supports 802.11 n/ac/ax operation
mode.
