Turbo Mode  By enable the turbo mode can enhance the throughput up to 35Mbps. 
WMM WMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia. It is a standard created to define quality of service 
(QoS) in Wi-Fi networks. This adds prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and 
optimizes their performance when multiple concurring applications, each with different 
latency and throughput requirements, compete for network resources.

2.4.3.4 WPA Pre-shared key 
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless 
stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. 
So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security very much. 
 
Parameters   Description 
WPA(TKIP)  TKIP can change the encryption key frequently to enhance the wireless LAN security. 
WPA2(AES) This use...

Parameters   Description 
WPA(TKIP)  TKIP can change the encryption key frequently to enhance the wireless LAN security. 
WPA2(AES) This use CCMP protocol to change encryption key frequently. AES can provide high level 
encryption to enhance the wireless LAN security. 
WPA2 Mixed  This will use TKIP or AES based on the other communication peer automatically.
