Select one of the following WiFi security options for the VAP:
Open. An open WiFi network does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can
join the network. We recommend that you do not use an open WiFi network but
configure WiFi security. However, an open network might be appropriate for a WiFi
hotspot.
WPA2-PSK. This option is the default setting and uses AES encryption. This type
of security enables only WiFi devices that support WPA2 to join the VAP. If you did
not change the passphrase, the default passphrase displays.The default passphrase
is sharedseceret.
WPA2 provides a secure connection but some legacy WiFi devices do not detect
WPA2 and support only WPA. If your network includes such older devices, select
the mixed mode security, WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK.
In the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the VAP, a
user must enter this passphrase.To view the passphrase in clear text, click the eye
icon.
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK. This mixed mode security enables WiFi devices that
support either WPA or WPA2 to join the VAP. This option uses TKIP and AES
encryption.
WPA-PSK (which uses TKIP) is less secure than WPA2-PSK (which uses AES) and
limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
In the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the VAP, a
user must enter this passphrase.To view the passphrase in clear text, click the eye
icon.
WPA2-enterprise. This enterprise-level security uses RADIUS for centralized
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management. For WPA2
Enterprise security to function, you must set up RADIUS servers (see Set Up RADIUS
Servers on page 85).
From the Data Encryption menu, select the data encryption mode mode:
- TKIP + AES. This type of data encryption enables WiFi devices that support
either WPA or WPA2 to join the access point’s WiFi network. This is the default
mode.
- AES.This type of data encryption provides a secure connection but some older
WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Therefore, if your
network includes such older devices, select TKIP + AES security.

Data Encryption, and

Protected Management Frames (PMF), according to the 802.11w standard, is a security
feature that protects unicast and multicast management frames from being intercepted
and changed for malicious purposes. This feature is disabled by default, but you can
enable it.
