Pre-shared Key
Enter the key value It is 8 to 63 ASCII characters or
64 HEX characters Other wireless stations must
use the same key
Key Renewal
Specify the value of Group Key Renewal It’s a value
from 600 to 36000, and default is 3600 seconds
WPA automatically changes secret keys after a certain
period of time The group key interval is the period
of time in between automatic changes of the group
key, which all devices on the network share
Constantly keying the group key protects your
network against intrusion, as the would-be intruder
must cope with an ever-changing secret key
Security Settings - WPA2-Enterprise
This version of WPA2-Enterprise requires a RADIUS Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication Data transmissions are encrypted using the
WPA2 standard
