- Encryption: “WPA” stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. There are three encryption
modes – TKIP, AES and Mixed.
 TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.
 AES: Advanced Encryption Standard.
 Mixed: WPA2 Mixed mode operation permits the coexistence of WPA and
WPA2 clients on a common SSID. WPA2 Mixed Mode is a Wi-Fi Certified
feature. During WPA2 Mixed Mode, the Wireless-G Router advertises the
encryption ciphers (TKIP, CCMP, other) that are available for use. The client
selects the encryption cipher it likes to use and the selected cipher is used
for encryption between the client and Wireless-G Router.
