Page 48 highlights

Configuring Security - WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key (PSK) to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication, so the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can greatly improve your wireless security.WPA2-PSK AES is the most secure setting for general users. Security: Encryption: Preshare Key: Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Select either AES or TKIP. It is suggested to select AES if all your wireless devices support this encryption mode. Note: IEEE802.11n only supports AES encryption. If you use TKIP as your encryption, wireless data rate will drop to 54Mbps (802.11g standard). Enter 8~63 characters as the security key of your wireless network. 44

Configuring Security - WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a
pre-shared key (PSK) to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during
communication, so the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can
greatly improve your wireless security.WPA2-PSK AES is the most secure setting for
general users.
Security
:
Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK
Encryption
:
Select either AES or TKIP. It is suggested to select AES if all your
wireless devices support this encryption mode.
Note: IEEE802.11n only supports AES encryption. If you use TKIP as your
encryption, wireless data rate will drop to 54Mbps (802.11g standard).
Preshare Key
:
Enter 8~63 characters as the security key of your wireless network.
