D-Link DIR-822 User Manual
WPA is the older standard; select this option if the
clients that will be used with the router only
support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer
implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i
security standard. With the "WPA2" option, the
router tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the
client only supports WPA. With the "WPA2 Only"
option, the router associates only with clients that
also support WPA2 security.
Select the appropriate cipher type to use here.
Options to choose from are Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES), and Both (TKIP and AES).
Enter the amount of time before the group key
used for broadcast and multicast data is changed.
Enter the shared secret phrase used here. This se-
cret phrase needs to be the same on all of the
wireless clients for them to be able to connect to
the wireless network successfully.
