PW201A Wireless N Powerline AP User Guide
6.2.2 WPA-PSK
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it
dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a
message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being
hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless
network.
¾ Cipher Type: Select AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP
(temporary key integrity protocol).
¾ Security Key: Enter a security key, which must be between 8-63 ASCII
characters long or 64 HEX characters long.
¾ Key Renewal Interval: Specify a valid time interval for the key to be
updated. Do not change the default value unless necessary.
