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

PC, read your network adapter's operating instructions.
