Security Settings - WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should
be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The
256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.

Network Key Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key derived
from this key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same key.
WPA Encryption Select the desired option. Other Wireless Stations must use the
same method.
TKIP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmissions are encrypted
using TKIP, and multicast (broadcast) transmissions are not
encrypted.
TKIP + 64 bit WEP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmissions
are encrypted using TKIP, and multicast (broadcast)
transmissions are encrypted using 64 bit WEP.
TKIP + 128 bit WEP - Unicast (point-to-point)
transmissions are encrypted using TKIP, and multicast
(broadcast) transmissions are encrypted using 128 bit WEP.
