D-Link DIR-850L User Manual
WPA is the older standard; select this op-
tion if the clients that will be used with the
router only support the older standard.
WPA2 is the newer implementation of the
stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard.
With the "WPA2" option, the router tries
WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the
client only supports WPA. With the "WPA2
Only" option, the router associates only
with clients that also support WPA2 secu-
rity.
Select the appropriate cipher type to use
here. Options to choose from are Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), and Both (TKIP
and AES).
Enter the amount of time before the group
key used for broadcast and multicast data
is changed.
Enter the shared secret used here. This secret phrase needs to be the same on all of the wireless clients for them to
be able to connect to the wireless network successfully.
