The only difference is that you select either the WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) or WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key) radio button in step 3. For details about WPA-802.1x authentication options, see "Configuring WPA-802.1x" on page 2-12. Configuring WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is the most basic and simplest form of wireless security. It is the most often used, but least secure of the available options. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

procedure to configure Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK. The only difference is that
you select either the
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
or
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key)
