A simple action of
“push button” suffices the process to activate the security of
the wireless network and at the same time be subscribed in it.

What is WPA Functionality?
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security
specification draft. Key differences between WAP and WEP are user
authentication and improved data encryption. WAP applies IEEE 802.1x
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using
an external RADIUS database. You can not use the P-661HNU-Fx's local user
database for WPA authentication purpose since the local user database uses
MD5 EAP which can not to generate keys.
WPA improves data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), Message Integrity Check and IEEE 802.1x. Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol uses 128-bits keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by
the authentication server. It includes a per-packet key mixing function, a
Message Integrity Check (MIC) named Michael, an extend initialization vector
(IV) with sequencing rules and a re-keying mechanism.
