ORBI Security - WPA or WPA2?

ORBI Security - WPA or WPA2?

Hello,

 

The tech specs for the Orbi RBR20 lists WPA/PSK2 as the wireless security. Does the Orbi RBR20 offer WPA2 security since many devices recommend this level of security these days? Does this WPA limitation create any issues connecting a variety of smart home devices and other devices?

 

Thanks.

Yes, both are offered. WPA is for backwards compatility with older wifi devices. WPA2 and AES is always recommended.
