DESCRIPTION
Choose WPA from the drop-down list box for TKIP encryption.
Choose WPA2 (AES) from the drop-down list box to use WPA2's AES encryption.
Choose WPA2 Mixed from the drop-down list box to allow both TKIP or AES
encryption.
Choose Personal to enable PSK mode.
Choose whether to enter the PSK by either Passphrase or Hex key.
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 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols) or 64 hex characters.
The Group Key Life Time is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key out
to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically
changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.
