NONE (Open System)
An open wireless network is one where you have no password.
None of your network traffic will be encrypted which means it's
visible to anyone who wants to look.
WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES)
This uses the modern WPA standard with older TKIP encryption.
This option isn't very secure, and is only a good idea if you have
older devices that can't connect to a WPA2-PSK (AES) network.
WPA2/WPA3-PSK (TKIP/AES)
This enables both WPA2 and WPA3 with both TKIP and AES. This
provides maximum compatibility with any ancient devices you
might have, but also ensures an attacker can breach your network
by cracking the lowest-common-denominator encryption scheme.
This TKIP+AES option may also be called WPA3-PSK "mixed"
mode.
WPA3-PSK (TKIP/AES) (recommended)
It's the most secure of the bunch at the moment. It uses WPA3, the
latest Wi-Fi encryption standard, and the latest AES encryption
protocol. You should be using this option. but doesn't offer
compatibility with any ancient devices you might have.
If you are sure to use WPA3-Personal Mode, please first check
whether your terminal device also supports WPA3. If your device
does not support it, your device cannot connect to the wireless
network properly. Before you enable other authorization modes
with special encryption, such as: NONE(Open System),
WPA/WPA2PSK-TKIP/AES, WPA2PSK-AES, WPA2/WPA3-PSK
(TKIP/AES), we recommend you to confirm the compatibility of the
end device at the same time. If the terminal device cannot be
connected after changing to the above mode, please change it to
WPA2PSK-AES first to ensure connection.
[Note] Terminal devices include mobile phones, computers, Iot
devices...etc.
To confirm whether your device supports WPA3-personal
authorization mode, please contact the original product
manufacturer or check on the WiFi Alliance website:
