WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK
WPA with Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK)
 is a special WPA mode that provides encryption protection for users at home 
and in small companies without a company authentication server. Encryption keys 
are automatically generated with the Pre-shared key, and automatically changed 
(rekeying) and authenticated between the devices after a certain period of time (
Which standard of encryption you can choose depends on the components in your wire-
less network. Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network pro-
tected by WPA must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA 
on your PC, read your network adapter's operating instructions. If all components sup-
port WPA2, select option WPA2-PSK. If you are using network adapters that only sup-
port WPA, select the option WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK. The entries described below are the 
same for both options.

Enter a key in the Pre-shared key field (up to 32 alphanumerical characters) and 
confirm it by entering it again.

Apply the settings by clicking OK.
