The PassPhrase is a convenient way to generate a key. You can a normal sentence. The
utility will convert this into a security key. (Only use this option when all wireless
products are from the same manufacturer).
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre Shared Key)
WPA is a big improvement for Wireless security compared to WEP and can be used in
networks which use an accesspoint. WPA normally use a Authentication server in the
network for secure access. For home use WPA-PSK was developed. There is no need for
an authentication server.
With WPA-PSK the client authenticates to the Accesspoint with the pre shared key (just
like WEP). When the connection is approved the data is transmitted encrypted with a key
derived from the pre shared key. The final encryption key is therefore different from the
pre shared key.
Choose WPA-PSK or WPA-NONE for Authentication and TKIP for Encryption Mode.
Enter the Network Key in the Pre-configured key (WPA) section. It should be an
