Setting Description
WPA2 Enterprise This enterprise-level security uses RADIUS for centralized Authentication, Authorization,
and Accounting (AAA) management. For WPA2 Enterprise security to function, you must
set up RADIUS servers (see Set up RADIUS servers on page 124).
From the Encryption menu, select the data encryption mode:
• TKIP + AES. This type of data encryption enables WiFi devices that support either WPA
• AES. This type of data encryption provides a secure connection but some older WiFi
WPA3 Personal This option is the most secure personal authentication option. WPA3 uses SAE encryption
and enables only WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the VAP. If you did not change
the passphrase, the default passphrase displays. The default passphrase is sharedsecret.
WPA3 provides a more secure connection than WPA2 but many WiFi devices might not
yet detect WPA3 and support only WPA2. If your network also includes WPA2 devices,
select WPA3/WPA2 Personal authentication.
In the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the VAP, a user must
enter this passphrase. To view the passphrase in clear text, click the eye icon.
WPA3/WPA2 This option, which is the same as WPA3/WPA2-PSK, enables WiFi devices that support
Personal either WPA3 or WPA2 to join the VAP. This option uses TKIP and AES encryption.
WPA2-PSK (which uses AES) is less secure than WPA3 (which uses SAE).
In the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the VAP, a user must
enter this passphrase. To view the passphrase in clear text, click the eye icon.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8. Make sure that you can connect to the new WiFi network.
If you cannot connect to the new WiFi network, check the following:
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is already connected to another
WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to
the correct WiFi network. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first
open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is trying to connect to your
network with its old settings (before you changed the settings), update the WiFi
network selection in your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to match the
current settings for your network.
Manage the Basic WiFi Features
or WPA2 to join the access point's WiFi network. This is the default mode.
devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Therefore, if your network includes
such older devices, select TKIP + AES encryption.
