 Security Mode: Select WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down
list if your wireless network uses WPA pre-shared key.
 Encryption: Select TKIP or AES from the drop-down list if your wireless

Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing
Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides
improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by
adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys
haven’t been tampered with.
