WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK
Parameters description
Name
Description
Security Mode
It indicates the personal or pre-shared key security mode, including WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK.

WPA-PSK: It indicates that the WiFi network corresponding to the selected SSID is
encrypted using WPA-PSK.

WPA2-PSK: It indicates that the WiFi network corresponding to the selected SSID
is encrypted using WPA2-PSK.

Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK: It indicates that wireless clients can connect to the WiFi
network corresponding to the selected SSID using either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
Encryption Algorithm
It specifies the encryption algorithm corresponding to the selected security mode. If
Security Mode is set to WPA-PSK, this parameter has the AES and TKIP values. If
Security Mode is set to WPA2-PSK or Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, this parameter has the
AES, TKIP, and TKIP&AES values.

AES: It indicates the Advanced Encryption Standard.

TKIP: It indicates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. If TKIP is used, the maximum
wireless throughput of the AP is limited to 54 Mbps.

TKIP&AES: It indicates that both TKIP and AES encryption algorithms are
supported. Wireless clients can connect to the WiFi network corresponding to the
selected SSID using TKIP or AES.
Key
It specifies a pre-shared WPA key. A WPA key can contain 8 to 63 ASCII characters or
8 to 64 hexadecimal characters.
Key Update Interval
It specifies the automatic update interval of a WPA key for data encryption. A
shorter interval results in higher data security.
0 indicates that a WAP key is not updated.
