Encryption Setting Description

WPA Version Your options are WPA, WPA2 or WPA Auto.

• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is the replacement

security standard adopted by the Wi-Fi Alliance in

response to the security weaknesses of WEP. WPA was

developed as an interim measure prior to the

ratification of the 802.11i standard, which introduced

WPA2.

• WPA2 provides stronger wireless security than WPA

and is the recommended option. However, older

wireless clients may not be compatible with WPA2.

For example, WPA2 support on Windows XP requires

a Microsoft patch and is only available on Windows

XP with Service pack 2 or later.

• WPA-Auto allows both WPA and WPA2 devices to

operate on the same WLAN.

WPA Authentication PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode is suitable for home or

personal use. 802.1X mode uses a RADIUS server to

verify user identity. The auto mode offers both options

for the wireless client to choose from.

For more information on how to configure the 802.1X

mode, refer to “Customizing 802.1X Settings”

page 69.

WPA Algorithm • TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is an older

encryption algorithm that provides stronger security

than a shared WEP key, but not as strong as the newer

AES algorithm.

• AES: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) replaces

TKIP as the default (and recommended) encryption

algorithm for modern wireless LANs.

• Auto: Auto allows both encryption algorithms to be

used on the same WLAN. When Auto is selected, the

wireless client decides whether TKIP or AES will be

used. Note however that allowing TKIP will reduce the

performance of the WLAN (as broadcast packets will

be limited to slower transfer rates), and is therefore

not recommended.

Passphrase

Enter a new passphrase between 8 and 32 characters

long, using any combination of printable characters

(letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores).
