5.6.3 Wireless Security
Choose “Wireless 2.4GHz —> Wireless Security”, then you can configure the security settings of your wireless network. There are
five wireless security modes supported by the router: WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, and WEP.
Figure 5-21. Wireless Security.
• Disable Wireless Security—If you do not want to use wireless security, check this radio button. But we strongly recommend that
you choose one of the following modes to enable security.
• WPA/WPA2-Personal—This is the WPA/WPA2 authentication type based on a pre-shared passphrase. The router is configured
by this security type by default.
- Authentication Type—Choose the version of the WPA-PSK security on the drop-down list. The default setting is Auto, which
can select WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key of WPA) or WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared key of WPA) automatically based on the wireless sta-
tion‘s capability and request.
- Encryption—When WPA-PSK or WPA is set as the Authentication Type, you can select either Automatic, or TKIP or AES as
Encryption.
