WPA2-Personal
WPA Algorithm
The encryption method is AES. Wireless stations must also use
AES.
Pre-shared Key
Enter the key value. It is 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64 HEX
characters. Other wireless stations must use the same key.
Key Renewal
Specify the value of Group Key Renewal. It’s a value from 600
to 36000 and default is 3600.
WPA automatically changes secret keys after a certain period of
time. The group key interval is the period of time in between
automatic changes of the group key, which all devices on the
network share.
Constantly keying the group key protects your network against
intrusion, as the would-be intruder must cope with an ever-
changing secret key.
