The pass phrase must consist of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or 8 to 64 hexadecimal characters
(characters from 0 to 9 and from A to F).
3 In the WPA-PSK Version list, click the WPA-version of your choice. Following options are available:
WPA2:
WPA2 is the most secure version, but not all wireless clients already support it. Before you select this
version, make sure all of your wireless clients support it.
WPA+WPA2:
If not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or you are not sure if they support WPA2, we
recommend you to choose WPA+WPA2. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the
others will use WPA.
