  • WPA2-Personal
  • WPA - WPA2-Personal
  • WPA2 - WPA3-Personal
  • WPA3-Personal
• Password

What do these mean?

• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): It provides stronger data encryption through TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) but is considered outdated and less secure than its successors.
• WPA2-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2): It uses a pre-shared key (PSK), which is a password that you set up on your router. Every device that connects to the network needs to use this same password.
• WPA3-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3): Like WPA2-Personal, it uses a pre-shared key (password) for access. However, it enhances security with a feature called SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which provides better protection against password guessing attacks.

Do I need Isolation turned on?

• Wi-Fi Isolation is a security feature that prevents devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network from communicating with each other. When enabled, this feature ensures that each device on the Wi-Fi network can only communicate with the router and not with other devices on the same network. This is particularly useful in environments like public Wi-Fi hotspots, where you want to prevent users from accessing or potentially hacking into each other's devices.
