TRENDnet User’s Guide  

“Secure your wireless network” sections for details configuring wireless  

security.  

How to choose the type of security for your wireless network  

Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and  

unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet  

recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your  

new access point.  

•

Advanced Settings  

o

There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each  

having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network  

taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength  

along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).  

It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from  

accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).  

In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest  

strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your  

network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for  

your network.  

Separate Clients – By default, this option is left unchecked and allows  

all wireless client devices that are connected to the same wireless SSID  

to communicate with other wireless client devices. Checking this  

option will block communication between wireless client devices  

connecting with other wireless client devices. This feature is also  

known as L2 isolation or L2 client isolation.  

o

Protected Management Frames – This feature enables protection for  

multicast management action frames.  

Wireless Encryption Types  

• WPA/WPA2-Personal: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect  

wireless devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will  

automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device  

connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless  

network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only  

when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2  

encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.  

Note: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit  

your connection speeds to 54Mbps  

• WPA2-Personal: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar  

to WPA encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the  

highest connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this  

encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not  

support WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto  

encryption.  

Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless  

appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported. Below is brief  

comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended  

configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network.  

• WPA3-Personal: This is the latest wireless encryption. It is similar to WPA2  

encryption, but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest
