5.7.3 Wireless Security
Choose “Wireless 5GHz —> Wireless Security,” then you can configure the security settings of your wireless network.
There are five wireless security modes supported by the router: WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise,
and WEP.
Figure 5-38. Wireless Security.
• Disable Security—If you do not want to use wireless security, check this radio button. We strongly recommend that you choose
one of the following modes to enable security.
• WPA/WPA2-Personal—This is the WPA/WPA2 authentication type based on pre-shared passphrase. The router is configured by
this security type by default.
- Authentication Type—You can choose the version of the WPA-PSK security on the drop-down list. The default setting is
Automatic, which will select WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key of WPA) or WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared key of WPA) automatically based on
the wireless station's capability and request.
