Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
Pre-Shared Key
WPA Type
Select the type of WPA from the following:
WPA2 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
:
RECOMMENDED
— Government standard packet encryption
which is stronger than TKIP.
WPA Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP): Generates a
128-bit key for each packet.
WPA2 Mixed:
Mixed mode allows client devices to first
associate to the router using WPA2, and if they fail to
connect, then they are connected via WPA (TKIP).
Encryption Type
Enabling encryption is strongly encouraged because unauthorized parties within range of your router’s wireless signal may attempt
to access your wireless network and then gain access to private information on devices on your network. It’s highly recommended
that you encrypt your router with WPA2 (AES) for optimal security and throughput performance. Always select a strong passphrase
greater than 8 characters long and comprised of letters, numbers, and symbols. Please make note of the passphrase and keep it in a
secure location somewhere in your home in case you need to retrieve it.
Pre-Shared Key Type
Select the type of pre-shared key as Passphrase (ASCII) or
Hexadecimal.
Pre-Shared Key
Enter the Pre-sShared Key value.
IMPORTANT!
WPA2 (AES) offers much stronger security than WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) which has been and can be comprimised.
