Setting Description
WPA2 This enterprise-level security uses RADIUS for centralized Authentication, Authorization, and
Enterprise 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
or WPA2 to join the access point's WiFi network. This is the default mode.
• AES. This type of data encryption provides a secure connection but some older WiFi
devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Therefore, if your network includes
such older devices, select TKIP + AES encryption.
WPA3 This option is the most secure personal authentication option. WPA3 uses SAE encryption
Personal 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 secure connection but some legacy WiFi devices do not 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 either
Personal 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.
