About Wireless Security
There are two basic wireless security modes: WPA and WEP. There are two
versions of WPA: WPA and WPA2. When configured as part of a typical home
or small office network, WPA and WPA2 require a Pre-Shared Key, or PSK.
These modes are typically called WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, respectively,
though sometimes they're just called WPA and WPA2. You can enable either
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK alone, or you can enable both WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK together. By default, your Cable Modem/Router has WPA2-PSK
with AES encryption enabled. You will only need to change the security mode
if you have a device in your wireless network that only supports WEP or
WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption. If you want an unsecured network, disable all
security methods.
How to Tell if Your Client Supports WPA2
You can check to see if all other clients that you plan to put on the network
support WPA2. You can do this by checking the manual that came with each
device or by checking the configuration software for the installed device.
Look under Security or Encryption or Setup or Advanced Features.
