Using High Security Encryption Modes
Adopting high security encryption modes protects against unauthorized access as well as data
interception on networks.
To improve WLAN security without sacrificing working efficiency, use
WPA-PSK/WPA2–PSK
and
TKIP+AES
. This step also prevents WLAN unavailability caused by network adapters' incompatibility
with the selected security mode.
