If using TKIP for encryption with WPA, you will be restricted to 54 Mb/s. This is because the IEEE 802.11n draft prohibits using high throughput with WEP or TKIP ciphers.

### <a name="headless-mode"></a>How do I prepare the SD card to connect to WiFi in headless mode?
Since [May 2016](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-update-raspbian/), Raspbian has been able to copy wifi details from `/boot/wpa_supplicant.conf` into `/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf` to automatically configure wireless network access.
An example `wpa_supplicant.conf` file is shown below. Replace the fields with your settings:
```
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=your_ISO-3166_two-letter_country_code
network={
ssid="my_SSID"
psk="my_PSK"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
```
