possible.
WPA/WPA2 Personal
can be used if some of your older devices do not support WPA2.
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
is designed for organizations and includes enterprise-grade
authentication.
NOTE:
This method provides administrative control over access to your Wi-Fi
network, so that administrators assign, modify and revoke login credentials for users. A Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server is required and must be configured for this
option.
None
allows others to monitor your Wi-Fi traffic and use your data plan to access the Internet.
NOTE:
Avoid using this option.
Wi-Fi password (Key):
Enter a Wi-Fi password.
Important:
It is critical that you change the password from the default
and
use a different password
from your Admin password to keep the device and your network secure.
Band:
Wi-Fi can be accessed over two bands, depending on your Wi-Fi device: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz:

The 5 GHz band is best for newer devices. It offers better throughput and reduced interference,
but does not pass through walls as well as the 2.4 GHz band.

802.11 Mode:
Specify which 802.11 protocol is to be used when the 2.4 GHz band is active.
Channel:
Select
Automatic
or specify a Wi-Fi channel to use.
NOTE:
Selecting the appropriate channel
will help reduce signal loss when near another Wi-Fi device.
5GHz Settings
