AES
AES encryption offers a better level of
security but might not be supported by a
number of client devices and requires less
CPU processing power.
TKIP + AES
Mixed mode – offers best compatibility but
doesn’t work in all environments
If RADIUS security is used, the MAC address format has to be set
accordingly.

2.3.2.3. AOSS/WPS
AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure Setup) is Buffalo Technology’s
system to automatically connect wireless clients to an access point.
Just press the button on the AirStation, then press the button for the
wireless client (which might be in its software). AOSS will connect
the wireless devices automatically. AOSS is recommended if all of your
wireless devices support it. AOSS can only be used in AP mode.
The WPS is a standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. There are two
methods of configuration, PBC and PIN. PBC is similar to AOSS. PIN
uses a unique PIN code to register the wireless client to the
AirStation. If your wireless devices support it, WPS makes
configuration simple and automatic.

To initiate AOSS, either click the AOSS button in the GUI or hold down
the AOSS button on the front of the router for 3 seconds.

to security concerns.
