WPA-PSK (TKIP) / WPA-PSK (AES)

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than

WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association

authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The

encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.

There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While CCMP provides better

security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with the hardware to

support it.

Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that

both the WL-5460AP and the wireless client stations use the same key.

Group Key Life Time: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the re-key

interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically. The shorter

the interval is, the better the security is. The default is 300 sec.
