Security Mode Select WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, or WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE to add security on
this WiFi network. WiFi clients must support one of the selected security modes and use the
same WiFi key (password) to connect to the WiFi network. Or you can select Open to use no
security and allow any client to connect to this network without authentication.
The WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key) security mode provides both data
encryption and user authentication. The WPA2-PSK security mode is a more robust version of
the WPA encryption standard. The WPA3-SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals
handshake) security mode protects against dictionary attacks (password guessing attempts).
It improves security by requiring a new encryption key every time a WPA3 connection is
made. A handshake is the communication between the NR2301 and a connecting client at
the beginning of a WiFi session.
Note: WPS can be used only when the security mode is set to Open, WPA2-PSK, or
