Description
WPA
WPA with TKIP encryption.
Note
: If this version is selected and the chosen wireless mode supports
802.11n, then wireless clients that support 802.11n cannot connect at 802.11n
transmission rates. They will be connected at legacy rates. If the chosen
wireless mode is one of the 802.11n-only modes, then you cannot select this
option alone (that is, WPA2 must also be selected).
