WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK

WPA / WPA2 with Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK)

is a special WPA mode that provides encryption protection for users at home

and in small companies without a company authentication server. Encryption keys are
automatically generated with the Pre-shared Key, and automatically changed (rekeying)
and authenticated between the devices after a certain period of time (

Which standard of encryption you can choose depends on the components in your wire-
less network. Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network pro-
tected by WPA must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA
on your PC, read your network adapter's user guide. If all components support WPA2,
select option

WPA2-PSK

. If you are using network adapters that only support WPA,

select the option

WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK

. The entries described below are the same for

both options.

ì

Select the required option in the

Security

field.

ì

Enter a key in the

Pre-shared key

field (min. 8 to max. 63 characters) and confirm

it by entering it again.

ì

Apply the settings by clicking

OK
