AES stronger than TKIP. It was definitely around 10 years ago.

i think its tkip because again the router is older and wpa2 is probably the most recent the router can handle

WPA2 with AES/TKIP encryption was introduced to the market in 2004. compare to AES and TKIP , AES is more secure. on the other side, WPA3 was officially introduced to the market in June 2018 which is not 10 years old yet. so correct answer is (B) WPA2 with AES

If the router is 10+ years old, very likely it doesn't support WPA3. Like others have said, AES is more secure than TKIP.

The protocol used by WPA2, based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher along with strong message authenticity and integrity checking is significantly stronger in protection for both privacy and integrity than the RC4-based TKIP that is used by WPA.

WPA was initially released in 2003. The Wi-Fi Alliance defined WPA as a response to serious weaknesses found in the WEP protocol. A more secure version, WPA2, was released in 2004.

WPA2 with AES

If the router is about ten years old, it may support WPA2 with AES. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a common encryption method that was widely adopted even before the introduction of WPA3. Therefore, the answer would be: B. WPA2 with AES

In old soho routers, I dont think the AES was avaliale. So Im chose a A.

B. WPA2 with AES. WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a secure option that was widely used during the time period when the router was manufactured. It offers a good balance between security and compatibility with older hardware. WPA3 was introduced after 2013 and may not be supported by routers manufactured before that time. While WPA3 with AES-256 (option C) is the most secure option among those listed, it's unlikely to be compatible with a router of this age. It's worth noting that WPA2 with TKIP (option A) should be avoided whenever possible, as TKIP is a less secure encryption method compared to AES.

C. WPA3 with AES-256 For the most secure wireless network possible, the technician should configure the router to use WPA3 encryption with AES-256 (option C). WPA3 is the latest and most advanced security protocol for wireless networks, offering enhanced protection compared to older standards like WPA2. AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key) is a strong encryption algorithm that provides a high level of security for data transmitted over the wireless network. This combination of WPA3 and AES-256 will help ensure that the wireless network is well-protected against various types of attacks.

Well.... I think this is not a recent question. However, once a standard has come up, doesn't mean that is immediately covering every devices in production since then. Is likely that the Router would not support AES

AES = Advanced Encryption Standard TKIP = Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

depends when the question was written...

Answer is B

Surprisingly, D is the correct answer (WPA3 with AES-128). Kindly, do your research and you will be supper amaze. WPA 2 AES encryption is now considered old standard.

AES was around in 2012. its wpa aes
