WPA2 / WPA with pre-shared key (PSK)
WPA is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic
keys based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The
new WPA2 standard uses AES for encryption.
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode for users at home and in small companies without a
company authentication server. Encryption keys are automatically generated with the
pre-shared key, automatically changed ("rekeying") and authenticated between the
devices after a certain period of time (
Rekey interval ).
Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network protected by WPA
must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your PC, refer
to the user guide supplied with your network adapter.
If a PC is already successfully registered via WPS, this screen shows the generated pre-
shared key. The pre-shared key in the advanced settings can be viewed in plain text on
the Wireless Network – Encryption page.
