From the Authentication menu, select one of the following authentication types for the WiFi network, and, if applicable, set a new passphrase (network key or WiFi password) for the WiFi network: • Open: Clients are not authenticated, traffic is not encrypted, and 802.11w (PMF) is automatically disabled. This setting does not provide any security and is not appropriate for most situations. If you select Open from the menu, the Enhanced Open check box displays and the Allow Devices to Connect with Open check box can display: - Enhanced Open: If you select the Enhanced Open check box, the WiFi enhanced open feature is enabled. This feature is based on opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE). The encryption is set to CCM mode protocol (CCMP) and 802.11w (PMF) is automatically set to mandatory. - Allow Clients to Authenticate using Legacy Open (OWE Transition Mode): If you select the Enhanced Open check box, the Allow Clients to Authenticate using Legacy Open (OWE Transition Mode) check box displays. If you select this check box, the WiFi network can accept both clients that support the WiFi enhanced open feature and clients that do not. For clients that do not support the WiFi open enhanced feature, traffic is not encrypted. If you do not select this check box, the WiFi network can only accept clients that support the WiFi enhanced open feature. • WPA2 Personal: This option allows only WiFi clients that support WPA2 to connect to the SSID. Select this option if all WiFi clients are capable of supporting WPA2. This option uses AES encryption. In the Passphrase field, enter a new passphrase for the WiFi network. • WPA2/WPA Personal: This option allows both WPA and WPA2 WiFi clients to connect to the SSID. This option uses TKIP and AES encryption. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast (that is, point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP and WPA2 clients use AES. In the Passphrase field, enter a new passphrase for the WiFi network. Install the Access Point in Your 41 Network and Access It for Initial Configuration User Manual
