WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure
than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA-PSK is the version
of WPA, which does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN.
PSK Enter the Keyword key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived
from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same
network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
Key Lifetime This determines how often the encryption key is changed. You can
change the default value if desired.
WPA Encryption The WPA-PSK standard allows different encryption methods to be
used. Select the desired option. Wireless Stations must use the same
encryption method.
