will be redirected to the web GUI and asked to authenticate himself before
being able to access other web pages. This authentication only needs to be
performed once every session.
Note: Not all wireless client equipment supports ASCII-text format. If you are
experiencing problems, use the hexadecimal key format since most vendors
support it.
Note: WPA/WPA2 is recommended as it provides a higher level of security due to
the longer key that changes automatically.
