Dual-band 3x3 802.11 ac WiFi Access Point

Configure WLAN with WPA / WPA2 / WPA-auto Authentication

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 provides enhanced security

over WEP, and allows client authentication based on an external

authentication server such as a RADIUS server, for corporate networks.

WPA-auto is a mixed security mode which supports multiple

implementations of the WPA standard, such as WPA and WPA2.

2. Select WPA / WPA2 / WPA-auto on Authentication Mode

3. Select suitable encryption mode on Cipher Mode

4. If Authentication Mode is WPA:

TKIP + AES

This algorithm automatically selects TKIP or AES based on the

client’s capabilities

TKIP

This algorithm provides greater compatibility with older client

devices, but is not supported by the 802.11n standard.

AES

This algorithm provides enhanced security over TKIP, and is the

only encryption algorithm supported by the 802.11i standard.
