setup only). Enter a new name with a maximum of 32 characters.You can use a
combination of alphanumeric and special characters, except for quotation marks
(") and a backslash (\).
SSID
From the menu, select one of the following authentication types for the WiFi
network:
• Open. Authentication is not required and data encryption is not supported.
This setting does not provide any security and is not appropriate for most
situations.
• WPA2-PSK.This option allows only WiFi clients that support WPA2 to connect
to the SSID. Select this option if all WiFi clients are capable of supporting
WPA2.This option uses AES encryption.
• WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK.This option allows both WPA and WPA2 WiFi clients
to connect to the SSID.This option uses TKIP and AES encryption. Broadcast
packets use TKIP. For unicast (that is, point-to-point) transmissions, WPA
clients use TKIP and WPA2 clients use AES.
For information about setting up WPA2 Enterprise security, see
Set Up an Open or Secure WiFi Network on page 30.
