Encryption

Select the encryption type (TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES) for data

 

encryption.

 

Select TKIP if your wireless clients can all use TKIP.

 

Select AES if your wireless clients can all use AES.

 

Select TKIP+AES to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or

 

AES.

 

 

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the

 

same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a

 

simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.

 

Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters

 

(including spaces and symbols).

 

 

Group Key

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new

Update Timer

group key out to all clients.
