• WPA(PSK) – Enable WPA(PSK) security on the VAP interface.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) employs a combination of technologies to
provide an enhanced security solution for wireless networks. The WPA
Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode for small networks uses a common
password phrase that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to
connect to the network.
- Pre-Shared Key: Enter a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and
numbers. The key must be from 8 to 64 characters, which can include spaces.
All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with

- Confirm Pre-Shared Key: Enter the key for verification.

- WPS Status: Enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
- PIN-Code: A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is required to join the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup network. Each device supporting WPS will come with a
hard-coded PIN number. Set an initial client up to talk with the router/gateway
and it becomes the master device used to enter PIN codes of other clients that
want network access. Click “Send” button to activate the security.
