WPA pre-shared key
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key
to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or
CCMP(AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to
break. This can improve security very much. You can use WPA pre-shared key encryption in
“AP mode”, “AP Bridge-WDS mode” and “Universal Repeater mode”.
Parameter Description
