Wpa2/Wpa With Pre-Shared Key (Psk) - Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl First Steps

WPA2/WPA with pre-shared key (PSK)

WPA is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic
keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The
new standard WPA2 uses AES for the encryption.
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode for private users and users in small companies without
their own authentication server. After a certain period of time
tion keys are automatically generated with the pre-shared key, automatically changed
("rekeying") and authenticated between the devices.
Note:
Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a WPA-protected wireless network
must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your PC,
read your network adapter's user guide.
ì
Select WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless network.
Or:
ì
Select WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK if some or all components in your wireless network
support WPA with the TKIP protocol.
ì
Enter a key of your choice in the Pre-shared key field (min. 8 to max. 63 characters)
and confirm it by repeating the entry. You must set up the same pre-shared key for
all wirelessly connected PCs.
