WPA with RADIUS WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support
WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA
passphrase (Network key).
WPA-PSK and WPA2-
PSK
This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2 (with
AES). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES. The WPA passphrase
