WPA2 / WPA with Pre-shared key (PSK)

WPA is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic keys based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The new standard WPA2 uses AES for the encryption.

WPA-PSKis a special WPA mode for users at home and in small companies without a company authentication server. Encryption keys are automatically generated with the Pre-shared key, automatically changed ( "rekeying") and authenticated between the devices after a certain period of time (Rekey Interval).

Please remember:

Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network protected by WPA must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your PC, read your network adapter's operating instructions.

ìSelect the option WPA2-PSKif it is supported by all components in your wireless network.

or

ìSelect the option WPA2-PSK /WPA-PSKif some or all components in your wireless network support WPA with the TKIP protocol.

ìEnter a key of your choice in the Pre-shared key field (min. 8 to max. 63 characters) and confirm it by repeating the entry.

You must also set the same Pre-shared key for all wirelessly connected PCs.
