Customizing Metro WLAN or Home WLAN Settings
4. You can make the following changes:
• WPA Version: Your options are WPA, WPA2 or WPA Auto.
• When WPA-Auto is selected, the wireless client decides the version of WPA will be used. WPA
is the recommended default for best compatibility. Wi-Fi WPA-capable PDAs and other gadgets
are usually limited to WPA + TKIP.
• WPA2 is an advanced option. WPA2 support on Windows requires a Microsoft patch and is only
available on Windows XP with Service pack 2 or later.
• WPA-Auto is an advanced option. Only the best WPA 802.11i-conforming/Wi-Fi WPA-certified
client devices can operate in this mode.
• WPA Authentication: PSK is suitable for home/personal use. 802.1X uses the network RADIUS
server to verify user identity. The Auto mode offers both options to the wireless client to pick.
• WPA Algorithm: When Auto is selected, the wireless client decides whether TKIP or AES will
be used. AES is the strongest encryption and requires additional hardware support on wireless
devices.You should consult the documentation of your wireless client devices. Auto is an
advanced option and some wireless clients may fail to associate.
• Passphrase: Enter a new passphrase between 8 and 32 characters long, using any combination
of printable characters (letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores).
