WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more
secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA-PSK is
the version of WPA, which does NOT require a Radius Server
on your LAN.
Passphrase Enter the Keyword key value. Data is encrypted using a key
derived from the PSK. Other Wireless Stations must use the
same PSK. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
Encryption Other Wireless Stations must use the TKIP method.
