possible connection speed. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this
encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not
support WPA3 encryption, then set your router to either WPA2 or WPA encryption.
• WPA2/WPA3-Personal: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect
wireless devices using either WPA2 or WPA3 encryption. Your wireless network will
automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device
connected.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported. Below is brief
comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended
configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network

By default, your router is pre-configured with wireless network names (SSIDs) and a
wireless encryption key using WPA2-PSK (AES). The predefined wireless network name
and security can be found on the sticker on the side of the router or on the device label
at the bottom of the router. The following sections involve changing the default wireless
security settings and encryption key.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 6).
2. Click on Network and click on the wireless band you would like to configure, Wireless
2.4GHz / 5GHz1.
3. Under Interface Configuration and in the Wireless Security tab, click on the
Encryption drop-down list to select your wireless security type.
