WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides better security than
WEP because it uses dynamic key encryption. This standard
was implemented as an intermediate measure to replace
WEP, pending final completion of the 802.11i standard for
WPA2.
WPA-Personal supports Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) or Advanced Encryption System (AES) encryption
mechanisms for data encryption (default is TKIP). TKIP uses
dynamic keys and incorporates Message Integrity Code
(MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES uses
symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
If you choose this option, enter the following information:
• WPA Pre-Shared Key: The Pre-shared Key (PSK) is
the shared secret key for WPA. Enter a string of at least
8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.
• WPA Key Renewal Timeout: Enter a value to set the
interval at which the key is refreshed for clients
associated to this SSID. A value of zero (0) indicates
that the key is not refreshed. The default value is 3600
seconds.
• WPA Encryption: Choose TKIP, AES, or TKIP+AES as
the encryption algorithm for data encryption. The
default is TKIP.
