 is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic 

keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The 
new standard WPA2 uses 

 (Advanced Encryption Standard) for encryption.

 is a special WPA mode for private users and users in small companies without 

their own authentication server. After a certain period of time (

), encryp-

tion keys are automatically generated with the pre-shared key, automatically changed 
("rekeying") and authenticated between the devices.

ì

Select WPA2-PSK if WPA2 is supported by all components in the wireless network.

ì

Select WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK if some or all components in the wireless network only 
support WPA.

ì

Enter a key of your choice in the Pre-shared key field (min. 8 to max. 63 characters) 
and confirm it by repeating the entry. You must set up the same pre-shared key for 
all wirelessly connected PCs. Use a combination of letters, digits and special charac-

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption for radio signals in wireless networks 
and meets the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Note:
Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a WPA-protected wireless network 
must also support WPA. Information about this can be found in the operating manual 
for your network adapter.
