9.5 WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is
transmitted. This is a later standard than WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is
encrypted using a 256Bit key which is automatically generated and
changed often.
If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this
instead of WEP.
If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point
must have the same settings for each of the following:
WPA PSK
(Pre-shared
Key)
Enter the same value on every station and the
AP. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in
length. The 256Bit key used for the actual
encryption is derived from this key.
Encryption
The same encryption method must be used. The
most common encryption method is TKIP.
Another widely-supported method is AES.
