7800n Wireless Sercuity Mode

Post by Garyg124 »

Which is best for speed & what difference does it make?

I've read on here "WPA2 with AES" However I copied my settings over from my sky sr101 hub using WPA/WPA2-PSK.

Should I, or would I best to change this to WPA2 with AES?

Thanks.

Use WPA 2 AES, to get 300mbps speeds, if you use WPA2 with TKIP your speeds will be limited to 54mbps

Just an after thought, my speed (even though I'm on fiber) is cica 16Mb/s

Will this change affect my wireless speed or due to my low speed is it not worth changing?

(Too far from exchange my BB was only 2Mb/s) :oops:

If you transfer files over the LAN (LAN to WLAN) then it might be worth changing over to WPA2 AES, (I would change over to WPA2 AES)
