Encryption Setting Description
WPA Version Your options are WPA, WPA2 or WPA Auto.
When WPA is selected, the wireless client
decides which version of WPA will be used.
WPA is the recommended default for best
compatibility. Wi-Fi WPA-capable PDAs
and other devices are usually limited to
WPA + TKIP.
WPA2 is an advanced option. WPA2
support on Windows XP 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 mode is suitable for home or personal
use. 802.1X mode uses a RADIUS server to
verify user identity. The auto mode offers
both options for the wireless client to pick.
For more information on how to configure the
802.1X mode, refer to
Customizing 802.1X
Settings on page 42.
WPA Algorithm When Auto is selected, the wireless client
decides whether TKIP or AES will be used.

additional hardware support on wireless
devices. Auto is an advanced option and
some wireless clients may fail to associate.
