6.5.2 WPA-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to
authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to
change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This
can improve security very much.
