Parameter Description
Key 1/2/3/4

 WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK
They belong to pre-shared key or personal key modes, where Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK supports
both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK adopt a pre-shared key for authentication,
while the AP generates another key for data encryption. This prevents the vulnerability
caused by static WEP keys, and makes the three security modes suitable for ensuring security
of home wireless networks. Nevertheless, because the initial pre-shared key for
authentication is manually set and all clients use the same key to connect to the same AP, the
key may be disclosed unexpectedly. This makes the security modes not suitable for scenarios
where high security is required.
