WPA supports TKIP and AES Encryption technique, for some old module of wireless client cards, they may only support TKIP. In this case, we suggest you to select "AUTO for WPA, AES for WPA2". If your wireless client cards can support AES over WPA, we suggest you directly select "AES for both WPA and WPA2".
