WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK
WPA with pre-shared key (WPA-PSK)
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode for private users and users in small companies without
their own authentication server. After a certain period of time ( Rekey interval ), encryp-
tion keys are automatically generated with the pre-shared key, automatically changed
("rekeying") and authenticated between the devices.
The standard of encryption available to you depends on the components in the wireless
network. Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a WPA-protected wireless
network must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your
PC, read your network adapter's user guide. If all components support WPA2, select
WPA2-PSK. If you are using network adapters that only support WPA, select WPA2-PSK
/ WPA-PSK. The entries described below are identical for both options.
