For WPA-PSK

WiFi-Protected Access: WPA-PSK is useful for small places such as home environment without having authentication servers. It allows the use of manually-entered keys or passwords and is designed to be easy to set up for home users.

Format:

Choose the typing method of encryption key. You have to click either Hexadecimal digits or ASCII characters and type the keys on the field of Pre-Share Key.

Pre-Share Key: Please type the key to be between 8 and 63 characters, or 64 hexadecimal digits. Only the devices with a matching key that you set here can join this network.

WPA Group Rekey Interval: Type in the time for the WAP group rekey interval. The unit is second.

Data Encryption (WPA): Select the data encryption for the WPA mode. There are three types that you can choose, TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.

TKIP takes the original master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys mathematically from this master key. Then it regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key will be never used twice.

AES provides security between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs variable key sizes of 128, 192 or 256 bits.

TKIP+AES combines the features and functions of TKIP and AES.

After finished settings, click Apply for activation.
