Authentication

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.

 

 

Passphrase

Enter the PSK. Data is encrypted using a key

(PSK)

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.

Encryption

The WPA-PSK standard allows different

 

encryption methods to be used. Select the desired

 

option. Wireless Stations must use the same

 

encryption method.
