6.2.4 WPA(2) Authentication

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.
Click Network Settings > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More Secure as the security level.
Then select WPA or WPA2 from the Security Mode list.
