The conﬁ guration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your

If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11 n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security protocol. Change the

security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or change the setting to something other than

"IEEE802.11 n only."
