There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA
(with server). WPA-PSK uses what is known as a pre-shared key as
the security key. A pre-shared key is basically a password that is
between eight and 40 characters long. It can be a combination of
letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the same key to
access the network. Typically this is the mode that will be used in
a home environment. WPA (with server) is a system where a radius
server distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is
typically found in a business environment.

Setting WPA-PSK (no server)

From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no server)”.
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 40 characters and
can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on
all of the clients that you set up. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You
must now set up all clients to match these settings.
