DescriptionSetting
This option, which is the same as WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK, enables WiFi devices that
support either WPA2 or WPA to join the WiFi network. This option uses AES and TKIP
encryption.
WPA-PSK (which uses TKIP) is less secure than WPA2-PSK (which uses AES) and limits
the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
In the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters or 64
hexadecimal digits. To join the WiFi network, a user must enter this password. To
view the password in clear text, click the eye icon.
WPA-Personal
[TKIP] +
WPA2-Personal
[AES]
This enterprise-level security uses RADIUS for centralized Authentication,
Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management. For more information, see
Configure WPA and WPA2 Enterprise WiFi security with a RADIUS server on page
68).
WPA/WPA2
Enterprise
This option, which is the same as WPA3, is the most secure personal authentication
option. WPA3 uses SAE encryption and enables only WiFi devices that support WPA3
to join the WiFi network.
WPA3 provides a secure connection but some legacy WiFi devices do not detect
WPA3 and support only WPA2. If your network also includes WPA2 devices, select
WPA2 Personal [AES] authentication.
In the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 127 characters or 128
hexadecimal digits. To join the WiFi network, a user must enter this password. To
view the password in clear text, click the eye icon.
WPA3- Personal
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you connected over WiFi to the network and you changed the SSID, you are
disconnected from the network.
9. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
•
If your computer or device is connected to another WiFi network in your area,
disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the
AP provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network
without WiFi security that they discover.
•
If your computer or device is trying to connect to your network with its old settings
(before you changed the settings), update the WiFi network selection in your
WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to match the current settings for your
network.
