To change the WiFi security option for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi network, select a
Security Options radio button:
•
None: An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device
can join the WiFi network. We recommend that you do not use an open WiFi
network.
•
WPA2-PSK [AES]: Enables WiFi devices that support WPA2 to join the router’s
WiFi network. WPA2 provides a secure connection but some older WiFi devices
do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. If your network includes such older
devices, select WPA-Personal [TKIP] + WPA2-Personal [AES] security.
•
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]: Enables WiFi devices that support either
WPA or WPA2 to join the router’s WiFi network. However, WPA-Personal [TKIP]
is less secure than WPA2-Personal [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to
54 Mbps.
•
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise: Requires that your WiFi network can access a RADIUS
server. For more information, see Set up WPA/WPA2 Enterprise WiFi security on
page 61.
