Choose the Security Mode. Cisco recommends using the highest level of security
that is supported by your network devices. Choose from the following options:
• WEP: Weak security with a basic encryption method that is not as secure as
WPA. WEP may be required if your network devices do not support WPA.
• WPA Personal: Provides strong wireless security with advanced
encryption. Choose WPA Personal (TKIP or AES encryption), WPA2
Personal (AES encryption), WPA2 Personal Mixed (TKIP or AES
encryption).
• WPA Enterprise: Strong security using authentication by a RADIUS server
that is connected to the router. Choose WPA Enterprise (TKIP or AES
encryption), WPA2 Enterprise (AES), or WPA2 Enterprise Mixed (TKIP or
AES encryption).
