WPA2 / WPA with pre-shared key (PSK)
 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 WPA2 standard uses AES for encryption.
 is a special WPA mode for users at home and in small companies without a 
company authentication server. Encryption keys are automatically generated with the 
pre-shared key, automatically changed ("rekeying") and authenticated between the 
devices after a certain period of time (
).
Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network protected by WPA 
must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your PC, refer 
to the user guide supplied with your network adapter.
If a PC is already successfully registered via WPS, this screen shows the generated pre-
shared key. The pre-shared key in the advanced settings can be viewed in plain text on 
the Wireless Network – Encryption page.
