Description
Select the types of client stations you want to support:
• WPA. If all client stations on the network support the original
but none support the newer WPA2, then select WPA.
• WPA2. If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest
using WPA2 which provides the best security per the
standard.
• WPA and WPA2. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support
WPA2
WPA and WPA2. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client stations
associate and authenticate but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients
who support it. This WPA configuration allows more interoperability,
at the expense of some security.
If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or both WPA and WPA2, you
