2.5.2 wpa (tkip)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard that
lets you use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and
encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP to frequently change
the encryption key, making it difficult for hackers to break through and
thus greatly improving security.
pre-shared key format:
Select “Passphrase” (alphanumeric format)
or “Hexadecimal Digits” (in the “A-F,” “a-f” and “0-9” range) for the
pre-shared key. For example, passphrase: “iamguest”; hex digits:
“12345abcde.”
pre-shared key:
The pre-shared key is used to authenticate and encrypt
data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill in the fields using the
following guidelines.
• Hex: Input 64-digit hex values (in the “A-F,” “a-f” and “0-9” range)
or at least an 8-character passphrase as the pre-shared keys.
Click “OK” to save and activate all the settings. Now you can use the
router as your Internet gateway.
