WPA/WPA2 Configuration
These settings are not displayed when [Authentication Method] is set to
[Open].
Channel
Bandwidth
Set the channel used by the wireless
LAN.
A channel is the divided frequency
bandwidth.
In a wireless network, bandwidth is
divided up so that more devices can
communicate at the same time.
If your network becomes unstable due to
interference from other wireless devices,
it could be improved by changing the
channel.
1
TX Power
Set the transmit power for connecting to a
wireless LAN.
High
Authentication
Method
Select the network authentication mode
that will be used to connect to the
wireless base station (access point). To
ensure a secure network, it is
recommended to use WPA/WPA2. For
IEEE 802.11n, only AES can be used
• Open (Open System)
Allows all access without
authentication. For encryption mode,
WEP can be used.
• WPA2
Uses PSK for network authentication.
For encryption mode, TKIP/AES can be
selected. The encryption key will be
generated by communicating with your
access point using a pre-shared key.
The WEP key setting is not used for this
mode.
• WPA MIX
Uses WPA1 or WPA2 for network
authentication. WPA1 is used for
authentication with a device that does
not support WPA2. The highly secure
WPA2 is used for authentication with a
device that supports it.

Encryption
Mode
Select the encryption mode that you wish
to use for WPA/WPA2 authentication.
This setting must be the same as that of
the other devices (access point, etc.) you
wish to connect to. Select one of the
following:
• AES
• Auto
When [AUTO] is selected, either AES or
TKIP is automatically set according to the
network environment.
AES
Security Key
Set the pre-shared key. This setting is
necessary when TKIP/AES is used for the
encryption mode.The pre-shared key is a
keyword used to generate the encryption
key. It is also referred to as a [network key]
or [password].
Alphanumeric characters are used (8 to 63
characters).
This setting must be the same as that of
the other devices (access point, etc.) you
wish to connect to.
(This 8-digit
number is
different for each
model.)
