WPA pre-shared key
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a
pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during
communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP(AES) to change the encryption key frequently.
So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security
very much. You can use WPA pre-shared key encryption in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad
Hoc mode”, “Station-Infrastructure mode”, “AP Bridge-WDS mode” and “Universal
Repeater mode”.
