WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access II) is a WiFi security option that uses encryption andauthentication to protect the wireless network from unauthorized access or eavesdropping.WPA2 is the most secure and recommended WiFi security option among the options given. Ifsome light switches are no longer communicating after replacing the wireless router with a newdevice that uses WPA2, the most likely cause is that the light switches do not support WPA2.The light switches may need to be updated or replaced to be compatible with WPA2.
