Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (TKIP) or WPA2*-Personal
(TKIP) Security Settings
WPA* Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access
point and clients. This PSK authenticates a user's password or identifying code, on both the
client station and the access point. The access point performs the authentication. WPA
Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments.
WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer
wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their
wireless networks. WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some corporate and government
users.
NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES
security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and
troubleshooting.
