WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
• WPA-PSK is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key.
• WPA2-PSK is a more secure version of WPA-PSK, and it supports the IEEE 802.11 standard.

algorithms: TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.
• WPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter 64-character hexadecimal value or 8-63-character
ASCII value as the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can be entered

characters of A-F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the key.
• Network Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is dynamically
changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to 0 or Null.
