• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. WPA provides a secure connection but is superseded by WPA2. The WPA-PSK
[TKIP] option displays only if you configure the WiFi mode for the main WiFi network as Up to
54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (see
To use WPA security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the
2 .4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.

WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some older WiFi devices
do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Select WPA2 to allow 802.11n devices to connect
to the 2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your network includes older
devices that do not support WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security.
To use WPA2 security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the
2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support
either WPA or WPA2 to join the 2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network. However, WPA-PSK
[TKIP] is less secure than WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
To use WPA + WPA2 security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To
join the 2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
•
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. This type of security requires that your WiFi network can access a
RADIUS server. For information about configuring WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, see
