WPA pre-shared key
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key
to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or
CCMP(AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to
break. This can improve security very much. You can use WPA pre-shared key encryption in
"AP mode", "AP Bridge-WDS mode" and "Universal Repeater mode".

Description
TKIP can change the encryption key frequently to enhance the
wireless LAN security.
This use CCMP protocol to change encryption key frequently.
AES can provide high level encryption to enhance the wireless
LAN security.
This will use TKIP or AES based on the other communication
peer automatically.
You may select to select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be
the Pre-shared Key. For example:
Passphrase: iamguest
Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde
