WPA2(AES) / WPA2-Mixed

Select WPA2 (AES) for Security Mode, and enter a Pre-Shared Key between 8 to 63 characters (alphanumeric, case sensitive).

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2(WPA2) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses AES to change the encryption key frequently. WPA2-mixed supports both WPA2 and WPA. It is a good choice when some wireless devices on your network support WPA only.

Parameters

Description

Pre-shared Key Format

You may select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or

 

Hexadecimal digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to

 

be the Pre-shared Key.

Pre-shared Key

The Pre-shared key is used to authenticate and encrypt

 

data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill the text box

 

by following the rules below.

 

Hex: input 64-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-

 

9” range) or at least 8 character pass phrase as the pre-

 

shared keys.

Click on Finished to save and activate all the settings. Now, you can start to use the router as your internet gateway.
