Encryption
Method
Select WPA-PSK if you want to configure a pre-shared key. Choose this option only if
your wireless clients support it.
Pre-Shared
Key
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only
difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead
of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols).
This field is case-sensitive.
