11b/g/n mode (in the 2.4GHz frequency band) or 11a/n (in the 5GHz frequency band), the device may work at a low transmission rate.  WPA-PSK Based on pre-shared key, security mode WPA-PSK is characterized by high security and simple configuration, which suits for common households and small business. WPA-PSK has two versions: WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Figure 5-7 Security Mode_WPA-PSK Version:  Auto: Select WPA or WPA2 automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request.  WPA: Pre-shared key of WPA.  WPA2: Pre-shared key of WPA2. Encryption: Select the encryption type, including Auto, TKIP, and AES. The default setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the wireless station's capability and request. AES is more secure than TKIP and TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode. It is recommended to select AES as the encryption type. Wireless Password: Configure the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK password with ASCII or Hexadecimal characters. For ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 characters with combination of numbers, letters (case-sensitive) and common punctuations. For Hexadecimal, the length should be 64 characters (caseinsensitive, 0-9, a-f, A-F). Group Key Specify the group key update period in seconds. The value can be either Update Period: 0 or 30-8640000 seconds. 14

WPA-PSK
Based on pre-shared key, security mode WPA-PSK is characterized by high security and
simple configuration, which suits for common households and small business. WPA-PSK
has two versions: WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
Figure 5-7 Security Mode_WPA-PSK
Version:
Auto
: Select WPA or WPA2 automatically based on the wireless
station's capability and request.
WPA
: Pre-shared key of WPA.
WPA2
: Pre-shared key of WPA2.
Encryption:
Select the encryption type, including
Auto
,
TKIP
, and
AES
. The default
setting is Auto, which can select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) automatically based on the wireless
station's capability and request. AES is more secure than TKIP and TKIP
is not supported in 802.11n mode. It is recommended to select AES as
the encryption type.
Wireless
Password:
Configure the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK password with ASCII or Hexadecimal
characters. For ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 characters
with combination of numbers, letters (case-sensitive) and common
punctuations. For Hexadecimal, the length should be 64 characters (case-
insensitive, 0-9, a-f, A-F).
Group Key
Update Period:
Specify the group key update period in seconds. The value can be either
0 or 30-8640000 seconds.
