WPA2(AES) / WPA2-Mixed
Select WPA2 (AES) for Security Mode, and enter a Pre-Shared Key between 8 to 63 characters
(alphanumeric, case sensitive).
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2(WPA2) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared
key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses AES to
change the encryption key frequently. WPA2-mixed supports both WPA2 and WPA. It is a good
choice when some wireless devices on your network support WPA only.
