WPA2/WPA with pre-shared key (PSK)

WPA is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic
keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), offer increased security. The new
standard WPA2 uses
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode for private users and users in small companies without
their own authentication server. After a certain period of time

Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a WPA-protected wireless network
must also support WPA. Information about this can be found in the operating manual
for your network adapter.
