Step 3:

For WPA-Personal

Set the Cipher Type to TKIP.

WPA replaces WEP with a strong encryption technology called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) with Message Integrity Check (MIC).

For WPA2-Personal

Set the Cipher Type to AES.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a stronger symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique. AES is a requirement of WPA2 under the IEEE 802.11i standard.

For WPA-Personal-AUTO

Set the Cipher Type to Auto to allow the access point to automatically detect the cipher type to use.

Step 4:

Enter the GTK (Group Transient Key) Updates.

This is the length of time after which the access point will automatically generate a new shared key to secure multicast/broadcast traffic among all stations that are communicating with it. By default, the value is 600 seconds.

Step 5:

Click the Apply button and reboot your system, after which your settings will become effective.
