enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The encryption key is generated automatically and
dynamically.
Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that the 802.11a/g
Router and the wireless client stations use the same key.
Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While CCMP provides
better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with the hardware to
support it. You can select Both to allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to connect to the Access
Point at the same time.
Group Rekey Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the rekey interval is
time period that the system will change the group key periodically. The shorter the interval is, the better
the security is. 60 seconds is a reasonable time, and it is used by default.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) requires a RADIUS server available in order to do authentication (same
as 802.1x), thus there is no shared key required.
The Encryption Type and Group Rekey Interval settings are same as WPA-PSK.
