Authentication

Select the desired option:
WPA-PSK: Like WEP, data is encrypted before trans-

mission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be
used if possible.

WPA2-PSK: This is a further development of WPA-PSK,

and offers even greater security.

WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK: This method, sometimes called

"Mixed Mode", allows clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK
OR WPA2-PSK.

PSK

Enter the Network key value. Data is encrypted using a key
derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must
use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63
characters in length.

Key Lifetime

This determines how often the encryption key is changed.
