I am currently taking a cyber security class and am needing to set my personal router to WPA-PSK [TKIP]. I can not find this option I have set mode: to 54 Mbps this option only displays WEP. Please any help would be appreciated. I will set it back to WPA2-PSK [AES] after project.

       Is that accurate?  R6400[v1] or R6400v2?  Look for "Model" on the
    product label.  Firmware version?

       Where did you look?  What _did_ you find?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for "Specify Basic WiFi Settings" and "Change the WiFi Security
    Option".

     

       As plain-old WPA is increasingly being considered obsolete, there's
    some chance that you'd need to load an old/obsolete firmware version in
    order to use it.
