You can make the following changes:
WPA Version
Your options are WPA, WPA2 or WPA Auto.
When WPA-Auto is selected, the wireless client decides the ver-
sion of WPA will be used. WPA is the recommended default for
best compatibility. Wi-Fi WPA-capable PDAs and other gadgets
are usually limited to WPA + TKIP.
WPA2 is an advanced option. WPA2 support on Windows requires
a Microsoft patch and is only available on Windows XP with Ser-
vice pack 2 or later.
WPA-Auto is an advanced option. Only the best WPA 802.11i-
conforming/Wi-Fi WPA-certified client devices can operate in
this mode.
WPA Authentication
PSK mode is suitable for home or personal use. 802.1x mode
uses a networked RADIUS server to verify user identity. The auto
mode offers both options for the wireless client to pick.
WPA Algorithm
When Auto is selected, the wireless client decides whether TKIP
or AES will be used. AES is the strongest encryption and requires
additional hardware support on wireless devices.You should
consult the documentation of your wireless client devices. Auto
is an advanced option and some wireless clients may fail to
associate.
