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 
wireless network. 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, read your network adapter's operating instructions. If all components 
support WPA2, select the WPA2-PSK option. If you are using network adapters that only 
support WPA, select the WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK option. The entries described below are 
the same for both options.
ì
Select the required option in the Security field.
ì
Enter a key in the Pre-shared key field (up to 63 alphanumeric characters) and 
confirm it by entering it again. 
ì
By clicking the Unmask button, a message showing the pre-shared key is output in 
readable characters.
ì
Apply the settings by clicking OK.
WPA2 and WPA with authentication server
In large networks (e.g. in business enterprises) WPA enables the use of an additional 
authentication service. In this case, user access is controlled by user accounts and pass-
words, in addition to WPA encryption. A RADIUS server acts as an authentication server. 
You can select the new standard WPA2 if this is supported by all components in your 
wireless network, or select WPA2 / WPA if you are using devices that only support WPA.
You cannot use WPA2 / WPA together with WPS.
ì
Select the required option in the Security field.
