this if you want the keys to be updated regularly.

terminates

If enabled, the Group key will be updated whenever any member
leaves the group or disassociates from the Access Point.

because Radius MAC Authentication is not available with WPA-
PSK. The Configure button for this feature will also be disabled.

The current status is displayed. This will always be "Disabled",
because UAM is not available with WPA-PSK. The Configure
button for this feature will also be disabled.
