USER MANUAL
Security Mode
Select the type of security to be applied to the wireless
network.
Options from strongest to weakest security include:
•
WPA2-Personal
•
WPA/WPA2-Personal
•
WPA-Personal
•
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
•
WPA2-Enterprise
•
WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
•
WPA-Enterprise
If 802.11n or 802.11ac is selected as the network
mode, WEP is not available, but it is available to
802.11b-only, 802.11 g-only, 802.11 a-only, and a mix
of these.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 are security
protocols that use a dynamically changing key. WPA2
is the second generation protocol that uses stronger
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. The
third option is None.
WPA/WPA2 mixed security mode provides better
compatibility with legacy devices. However, for better
performance and higher security, WPA2 security mode
is highly recommended.
SSID Broadcast
Your wireless clients identify and connect to your router
using the network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier).
The SSID
broadcast is
On
by default. For additional security, you
can turn SSID broadcast to
Off
.
WMM QoS
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a standard that defines
quality of service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks, prioritizes
capability, and optimizes video and audio performance.
WMM QoS is forced to
On
(grayed out) when the
Network mode set includes
when the Network mode
set includes 802.11ac. If you select any mode not
including 802.11n or 802.11ac, you have the option of
turning WMM QoS
Off
