Wi-Fi Encryption Types

WPA-Personal/WPA2-Personal:

If the encryption algorithm is WPA/WPA2, there are two types: TKIP and AES. The printer does not support TKIP because it is not secure as AES.

If you are using TKIP, change the encryption type to AES in the Wi-Fi router settings.

WPA3-Personal:

Encryption keys up to WPA2 are more secure the longer they are, but the effective speed is slower. WPA3 ensures high security regardless of the encryption key length.

IEEE802.1X/EAP (WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise)

This mode connects the user name and password registered with the Radius authentication server to the key, regardless of wired LAN or wireless.

With the exception of some older models, enabling IEEE802.1X/EAP will disable connection via Easy Wireless (Easy WL) Connect.

IEEE802.1X EAP is controlled exclusively for WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal and Wireless Direct mode. When IEEE802.1X EAP is enabled, WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal and Wireless Direct mode are disabled. Conversely, even if IEEE802.1X EAP is enabled, if you set WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal, the mode you set later will be enabled, and IEEE802.1X EAP will be disabled. If you want to enable IEEE802.1X EAP, turn on Restricted Mode or disable the setting in Standard User mode.
