10.2.4.2 SSID/Wireless security (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
By default the wireless security is set to “No Encryption”, and few of the other options provided to change the
encryption accordingly are as follows:
1. No Encryption: Any device can connect to the network. Not recommended.
2. WPA-PSK(Wi-Fi Protected Access): WPA is part of the wireless security standard (802.11i)
standardized by the Wi-Fi Alliance and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place
of WEP while the 802.11 standard was being prepared. It supports TKIP/AES encryption. The personal
authentication is the pre-shared key (PSK) that is an alphanumeric passphrase shared with the
wireless peer.
3. WPA2-PSK: WPA2 is the implementation of security standard specified in the final 802.11i standard.
It supports AES encryption and this option uses pre-shared key (PSK) based authentication.
4. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed mode: Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect simultaneously
using PSK authentication.
5. WPA2-EAP: Allows you to use WPA2 with RADIUS server authentication.
6. WPA3-Enterprise: Enterprise, governments, and financial institutions have greater security with
WPA3-Enterprise. WPA3-Enterprise also offers an optional mode using 192-bit minimum-strength
security protocols and cryptographic tools to better protect sensitive data.
