2.4.3.4 WPA Pre -shared key

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre- shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP(AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security very much.
