6. To change the WiFi security for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi network, select a Security
Options radio button.
•
None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device
can join the WiFi network. We recommend that you do not use an open WiFi
network.
•
WPA2-PSK [AES]. This option is the default setting. This type of security enables
WiFi devices that support WPA2 to join the router’s WiFi network. If you did not
change the WiFi password, the default password displays. The default password
is printed on the router label.WPA2 provides a secure connection but some older
WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. If your network includes
such older devices, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security.
•
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This security type enables WiFi devices
that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the router’s WiFi network. However,
WPA-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi
devices to 54 Mbps.
•
WPA3-PSK. This security type enables WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join
the WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard, uses SAE encryption, and
is more secure than WPA2. If all devices on your network support WPA3, we
recommend that you use this type of security.
•
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. This security type supports 802.1x authentification. It's
not for home use. You must have a RADIUS server in your network to use this
security type.
•
WPA2-PSK [AES] + WPA3-PSK. This security type enables WiFi devices that
support either WPA2 or WPA3 to join the router’s WiFi network.
