Configure here which session key type should be offered for WPA version 2 or 3. This also influences the encryption method used.
Note: Operating TKIP is only recommended when using older WLAN clients which do not support AES.
Note: If a WLAN network uses only WEP or WPA with TKIP for encryption, the WLAN clients connected to it achieve a maximum
gross data rate of 54 Mbps.
Note: For maximum compatibility with legacy clients, the sole setting "AES-CCMP-128" should be used. Please note that
IEEE 802.11be standard-compliant operation requires the use of AES-GCMP-256. Based on experience, current Wi‑Fi 7 clients also
support other encryption methods, such as AES-CCMP-128, or combinations thereof. This is especially important when operating mixed
SSIDs for Wi‑Fi 7 and older clients, which generally only support AES-CCMP-128. If in doubt, use a separate SSID for
Wi‑Fi 7 with the appropriate encryption settings.
