Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method
used with WPA. You can also use TKIP with WPA2.
Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. If you want to
use the 11n rates and speed, NETGEAR recommends WPA2 authentication
with AES encryption.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used
with WPA2.
Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the
WN203 wireless access point does not support WPA with AES.
unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
clients use AES.
For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data
encryption method.
