Section 3 - Software Configuration

Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date wireless encryption method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a pass-phrase (Shared Secret) for security.

WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the “WPA2” option, the

 

router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the

 

client only supports WPA. With the “WPA2 Only”

 

option, the router associates only with clients that

 

also support WPA2 security.
