WPA Pre-Shared Key

If you do not have a RADIUS server, Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES, enter a password in the Pre-Shared
key field of 8-32 characters, and enter a Group Key Renewal period time between 0 and 99,999 seconds, which
instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.

WPA RADIUS

the Router.) First, select the type of WPA algorithm, TKIP or AES. Enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port
number, along with a key shared between the Router and the server. Last, enter a Group Key Renewal period,
which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
