WPA Personal

NOTE: If you are using WPA2 or WPA, each device in your wireless network MUST use the same WPA method and shared key, or else the network will not function properly.

WPA Algorithm  WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES. (AES is a stronger encryption method than TKIP.)

WPA Shared Key  Enter the key shared by the Router and your other network devices. It must have 8-63 characters.

Group Key Renewal  Enter a Key Renewal period, which tells the Router how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.

WPA2 Enterprise
