you are applying the WPA settings to. When you
access this page, the default SSID number 1 is

WPA Mode
This option is used to configure the Wi-Fi Protected
Access security type mode for the selected SSID. By
default the WPA Mode is ‘WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode’
in order to provide maximum compatibility.
Select ‘WPA’ for legacy devices that do not support
the newer, more secure WPA2 security mode.
Select ‘WPA2’ for devices that support the highly
secure WPA2 mode. Note that older devices that
only support the WPA mode may not be able to
connect to the router with this setting.
Select ‘WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode’ for maximum
wireless compatibility. Wireless devices supporting
the highly secure WPA2 mode will connect in this
mode, while older WPA only devices will also be able
to connect to the router.

Cipher Suite
This option is used to configure the type of WPA
encryption used for the selected SSID. By default
the encryption type is automatically selected
depending on the WPA mode a wireless connection
is established in.
Select ‘AUTO’ to allow the cipher to be automatically
detected when a wireless connection is established.
This will usually be AES with WPA2 and TKIP with
the WPA mode.
Select ‘AES’ to force the encryption cipher to use
the Advanced Encryption Standard mode. This mode
provides the maximum wireless speed and security
for wireless 802.11n connections.
Select ‘TKIP’ to force the encryption cipher to use
the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol mode. This
mode can be used for older wireless 802.11b/g
adapters that do not support AES mode.
