WPA

WPA (TKIP/AES): If WPA is selected, users will have to select

the WPA Authentication Modes between Enterprise

(RADIUS) and Personal (Pre-shared Key), and select WPA

Cipher Suite for TKIP or AES. Then enter the WPA Pre-

shared Key in the column to setup the wireless network security

if you select Personal (Pre-shared Key) authentication mode or

client's end.

Pre-authentication provides a way to establish a PMK security
