“airlivepass12”). HEX is a string of 16-bit hexadecimal digits (0..9, a, b, c, d, e, f).

WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) introduces the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)

that provides added security. WPA2 adds full support for 802.11i standard and the

CCMP (AES Encryption). The WPA Mixed tries to authenticate wireless clients using

both WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.

„

Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While

CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be

equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select

Mixed to allow TKIP clients

and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.
