WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later standard than WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key
which is automatically generated and changed often.
If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP.
If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each
of the following:
WPA PSK
(Pre-shared Key)
Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The
PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The
256Bit key used for the actual encryption is derived
from this key.
Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most
common encryption method is TKIP. Another
widely-supported method is AES.
WPA2-PSK
This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES (Advanced Encryption System)
for protecting data. AES is very secure, considered to be unbreakable. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be
entered on each Wireless station.
If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for
each of the following:
WPA2 PSK
(Pre-shared Key)
Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The
PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The
256Bit key used for the actual encryption is derived
from this key.
