do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. If your WiFi network includes such
older devices, select WPA [TKIP] + WPA2 [AES] security.

either WPA or WPA2 to join the WiFi network. This is the default mode.

If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• If your computer or device is connected to another WiFi network in your area,
disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the
access point provides. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open
network without WiFi security that they discover.
• If your computer or 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.
• Does your computer or device display as an attached device? (See Display the
devices currently on the access point network and change device information on
page 154.) If it does, it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password?
