network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only
when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2
encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.
NOTE: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit
your connection speeds to 54Mbps
• WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA
encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest
connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this encryption
standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not support
WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto encryption.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported.
Below is brief comparison chart of the wireless security types and the
recommended configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless
network.
