WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption:
WPA/WPA2-PSK (Preshared Key) uses TKIP or AES
based on your choice. You create a password (or Passphrase as its often called) and the

To use WPA/WPA2-PSK:
1. Create a Passphrase, and key it in. Use 8~63 ASCII digits.
2. Remember this Passphrase. If you forget the Passphrase, you will have to do a

again.
3. Click “OK to save these settings.
