Use this option only when you want to allow any user to use your wireless access point, and you
are not concerned about unauthorized access to your files and/or transfers over your network.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK):
When you select this mode, the wireless access point will use WPA encryption, and the following
setup menu will be shown on your web browser:
Cipher Type: AES is short for Advanced Encryption Standard, The AES cipher is specified as a
number of repetitions of transformation rounds that convert the input plain text
into the final output of ciphertext. Each round consists of several processing
steps, including one that depends on the encryption key. A set of reverse rounds
are applied to transform ciphertext back into the original plaintext using the
same encryption key. TKIP is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, TKIP
scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-
checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with.
Pre-shared: Enter the information for pre-shared key; the format of the information shall
according to the key type selected. Pre-shared key can be either entered as a
256-bit secret in 64 HEX digits format, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters
Hawking recommends using WPA2-PSK w/ AES cipher type as your default level of security.
Click Finish and the device will automatically restart and save your settings. After you have finished, a
