The strongest method of security is WPA2 AES. It is recommended to use this type of
security. However, it is possible that (older) wireless hardware is not able to use this
type of security, but can only use WPA-TKIP. Refer to the documentation of your
hardware to be sure if your hardware can use WPA2 AES.
If you wish to use WPA2 AES security, continue with paragraph 4.3.1 (recommended).
If you wish to use WEP security, continue with paragraph 4.3.2.
