WPA-PSK Encryption Type

WPA is a stronger wireless security solution than WEP. It uses a
combination of authentication and broadcast/session keys.

Pre-Shared Key/Passphrase

If there is no authentication server on your SOHO network, you
can issue the Pre-Shared Key to the clients that connect to the
Wireless Ethernet Bridge. Be sure to use the same key for the
Wireless Ethernet Bridge and the connected clients.

Notes: 1. Manual Pre-Shared Key supports up to 64-Hex

characters.

2. Type 8~63 Hex characters for the Pre-Shared

Passphrase.
