WPA-PSK
Encryption: WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA-PSK (AES)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than WEP keys. It does
not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association authentication, but you do have to enter a shared
key for the authentication purpose. The encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.
