WPA-PSK
How to set up WPA/WPA2-PSK:
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a standards-based, interoperable
security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data
protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN
systems. It will be forward-compatible with the upcoming
IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA employs a combination of several
technologies to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11
wireless networks, including TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) for data protection and 802.1x for authenticated key
management. WPA provides a simple operating mode that uses
just a pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared
Key mode uses a common password for user authentication that
is manually entered on the access point and all wireless clients
on the network.
