6.5.4 Wireless Security: WPA(2)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE
802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and
key management than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are user
authentication and improved data encryption.

DESCRIPTION
Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK if you want to
configure a pre-shared key. Choose this option only if your AP supports it.
Select TKIP, AES or TKIP + AES to enable data encryption. For more
information, see the Wireless Security appendix.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The
only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 ASCII characters (including spaces and
symbols). This field is case-sensitive.
Click Apply to save your changes to the device.
