Disable

The wireless security function can be enabled or
disabled. If disabled, the wireless stations will be able
to connect to the AP without encryption.

It is recommended strongly that you choose one of
following options to enable security.

WPA-PSK

It is a simplified WPA mode with no need for specific
authentication server. In this so-called WPA
Pre-Shared Key, all you have to do is just pre-enter a
key in each WLAN node and this is the common way
to be adopted in large and middle enterprise as well as
residential network.

WPA2-PSK

As a new version of WPA, only all the clients support
WPA2, can it be available. If it is selected, the data
encryption can only be AES and the passphrase is
required.

AP-Security

Mode:

Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK

It provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES)
encryption for the client. If it is selected, the data
encryption can only be TKIP + AES and the
passphrase is required.
