• None.

An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the network.

• WEP. WEP is an older standard, and is less secure than WPA or WP

A2. WEP limits the wireless mode

to Up to 54 Mbps. WEP uses encryption keys and data encryption for data security. Select 64-bit or

128-bit encryption and enter a key. To join the extender’s WiFi network, a user must enter the key. For

more information, see Configure WEP on page 50.

• WP

A-PSK [TKIP]. WPA is more secure than WEP. Enter a passphrase. For more information, see

• WP

A2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 is even more secure than WEP, but some older WiFi devices do not detect

A2. Enter a passphrase. To join the extender’s WiFi network, a user must enter the passphrase. For

more information, see Configure WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 49.

• WP

A-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]. When your network includes WiFi devices that support either

A or WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES] security. Enter a passphrase. To join

the extender’s WiFi network, a user must enter the passphrase. For more information, see Configure

WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2 on page 49
