• WPA(PSK) – Enable WPA(PSK) security on the VAP interface.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) employs a combination of technologies to
provide an enhanced security solution for wireless networks. The WPA
Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode for small networks uses a common
password phrase that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to
connect to the network.
- Pre-Shared Key: Enter a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and
numbers. The key must be from 8 to 64 characters, which can include spaces.
All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with
the VAP interface. (Default: Product Serial Number)
- Confirm Pre-Shared Key: Enter the key for verification.

• WPA / WPA2(PSK) – Enable WPA / WPA2(PSK) security on the VAP interface.
WPA2 is a futher security enhancement that includes the now ratified IEEE
802.11i wireless security standard.
- Pre-Shared Key: Enter a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and
numbers. The key must be from 8 to 64 characters, which can include spaces.
All wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with
the VAP interface.
- Confirm Pre-Shared Key: Enter the key for verification.
- WPS Status: Enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
- PIN-Code: The WPS PIN (Personal Identification Number) setup is optional to
the WPS button setup. It is more secure than using the WPS button. All
WPS-compatible devices have their own PIN number. For each device that
needs to join the network, enter its PIN number and then click Send.
- Push Button: Click the button to activate WPS. This action performs the same
function as pressing the physical WPS SET Button on the Mini AP Router.
