Configuring Basic Settings 4-15
Wi-Fi Protected
Access-Pre Shared
Key (WPA-PSK)
Conceived to address the vulnerabilities of WEP, Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre Shared
Key (WPA-PSK) affords you a simple yet powerful way of securing your wireless
network. Its Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which generates up to five
hundred trillion unique data encryption keys derived from a single Pre Shared Key,
makes it difficult - if not impossible - for aspiring intruders to gain access to your
network by obtaining a common key. Refer to Figure 4-8 to learn more about
configuring these settings.
• Some wireless
clients may not
support WPA
encryption because
WPA is a relatively
new technology. In
these cases, use
WEP encryption
instead.
• Windows XP has a
built-in client that
supports WPA
encryption.
Figure 4-8
Network Authentication
Enables or disables WPA-PSK.
Data Encryption
Select a data encryption
mode from the
drop-down list box: TKIP,
Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) or a
combination of both
(TKIP + AES).
Group Rekey Interval
Sets the time taken (in
msec) for AES or TKIP to
dynamically generate a
new unique encryption
key.
Pre Shared Key
Specify a password to
launch the encryption
process. All wireless
clients connected to your
network have to share
this password.
