5GHz Security Settings - WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should
be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The
256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.

•
TKIP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmissions and multicast
(broadcast) transmissions are encrypted using TKIP.
•
TKIP + 64 bit WEP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmis-
sions are encrypted using TKIP, and multicast (broadcast)
transmissions are encrypted using 64 bit WEP.
•
TKIP + 128 bit WEP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmis-
sions are encrypted using TKIP, and multicast (broadcast)
transmissions are encrypted using 128 bit WEP.
•
AES - CCMP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmissions and
multicast (broadcast) transmissions are encrypted using
AES - CCMP.
Pairwise Key Update
This refers to the key used for point-to-point transmissions.
Enable this if you want the keys to be updated regularly.
Key Lifetime
This field determines how often Pairwise keys are dynamically
updated. Enter the desired value.
