WPA Personal (also known as WPA-PSK - WiFi Protected Access, Pre-Shared
Key)
The WPA and WPA2 modes use IEEE 802.1X as their basic framework for user
authentication and dynamic key management. IEEE 802.1X access security uses
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and requires a configured Remote
Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) authentication server to be
accessible in the enterprise network. If you select WPA or WPA2 mode, be sure to
configure the RADIUS settings displayed on the page.
The WPA-WPA2-Mixed mode is a transitional mode of operation for networks
moving from WPA security to WPA2. WPA-WPA2-Mixed mode allows both WPA
and WPA2 clients to associate to a common Wi-Fi interface.
WPA-PSK is an authentication mechanism in which users provide credentials to
verify that they should be allowed access to a network. This requires a single
password entered into each WLAN node.
Encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same, with one
difference: in WPA-PSK, authentication is reduced to a simple common password,
instead of user-specific credentials.
You can set the following for each mode:

Rekey Interval - Time (in seconds) between renewals of authentication key
(Default: 3600)

WPAPSK Type - ASCII (default) or HEX

WPAPSK - Enter your security key
