There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates
Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES stands for Advanced
Encryption System, which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption.
To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Shared Key field between 8 and 63
characters long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal Interval time between 0 and 99,999
seconds.
