Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and AES (CCMP). While
AES provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be
equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select TKIP/AES to allow TKIP
clients and AES clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.
Key Renewal Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the
re-key interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically.
The shorter the interval is, the better the security is. The default is 3600 sec.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than
WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association
authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The
encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically. WPA2-PSK adds CCMP and
AES encryption for even better security.
