∙ WPA-PSK- PSK means "Pre-shared Key". You must enter

 

this Passphrase value; it is used for both authentication and

 

encryption.

 

∙ WPA2-PSK- This is a further development of WPA-PSK,

 

and offers even greater security. You must enter this Pass-

 

phrase value; it is used for both authentication and

 

encryption.

 

∙ WPA Radius - This version of WPA requires a Radius

 

Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication ac-
