The WPA2 security mode is currently the most robust form of encryption for 
wireless networks. It requires a RADIUS server to authenticate user credentials 
and is a full implementation the security protocol. Use this security option for 
maximum protection of your network. However, it is the least backwards 
compatible with older devices.

The WPA security mode is a security subset of WPA2. It requires the presence of a 
RADIUS server on your network in order to validate user credentials. This 
encryption standard is slightly older than WPA2 and therefore is more compatible 
with older devices.

Encryption Type

Select TKIP to enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security 
on your wireless network. Use this if the other access points on your 
network support do not have an AES option.

Select AES to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on 
your wireless network. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use 
AES if the other access points on your network support it.

Select TKIPAES MIX to allow both TKIP and AES types of security in 
your wireless network.
