WPA2-PSK
Enables a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), which enables the Brother
wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP for WPA-PSK or AES for WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK (WPA-Personal).
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides stronger data protection by using a symmetric-key
encryption.
WPA2 with AES
Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
SSID
Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as the Service Set
Identification (SSID). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access point. The wireless
network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access
point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as beacons) which have
the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify wireless
networks that are close enough to connect to.
