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 type of security 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.
•
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. This type of security requires that your WiFi network
