Configuring the Advanced Settings

WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK

WPA / WPA2 with Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK)
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode that provides encryption protection for users at home
and in small companies without a company authentication server. Encryption keys are
automatically generated with the Pre-shared Key, and automatically changed (rekeying)
and authenticated between the devices after a certain period of time
Which standard of encryption you can choose depends on the components in your wire-
less network. Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network pro-
tected by WPA must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA
on your PC, read your network adapter's user guide. If all components support WPA2,
select option WPA2-PSK. If you are using network adapters that only support WPA,
select the option WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK. The entries described below are the same for
both options.
