WPA + WPA2: this uses both encryption algorithms, TKIP and CCMP. WPA clients will use TKIP
and WPA2 clients will use CCMP encryption algorithms.

"WPA+WPA2" is a security option that allows devices to connect to an AP using the strongest
security that it supports. This mode allows legacy devices that only support WPA2 keys (such as an
older wireless printer) to connect to a secure AP where all the other wireless clients are using WPA2.

4.2.1 WEP Security

If WEP is the chosen security option, you must set a unique static key to be shared with clients that
wish to access this secured wireless network. This static key can be generated from an easy-to-
remember passphrase and the selected encryption length.
•
Authentication: select between Open System, or Shared Key schemes
•
Encryption: select the encryption key size -- 64 bit WEP or 128 bit WEP. The larger size
keys provide stronger encryption, thus making the key more difficult to crack
•
WEP Passphrase: enter an alphanumeric phrase and click Generate Key to generate 4 unique
WEP keys with length determined by the encryption key size. Next choose one of the keys
to be used for authentication. The selected key must be shared with wireless clients to
connect to this device.
