If you wish to enable WPA encryption, select WPA from the Network Authentication list.
WPA is an upgrade to the WEP standard for securing your wireless network.
If you would like to secure your wireless network using WPA, you must have WPA support for
your wireless clients. If you are using a Dell Wireless wireless client, you can check for the
availability of WPA-enabled software update for your wireless client at http://support.dell.com.
WPA Pre-shared Key
WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a field where the password is entered. All wireless
clients must also use this password to gain access to the network. Note that the Key
format must also match the setting for the wireless clients.
Key Format
Key Format is a box that lists 2 items: Hexadecimal Digits (numbers 0 through 9 and
letters A through F) and ASCII Characters (any letter, number, or symbol). Select the
proper format for your key. If your wireless client(s) only support one of the two
formats, be sure to specify the correct one.
WPA Group Rekey Interval
WPA Group Rekey Interval is used to specify the frequency of encryption key rotations.
The lower the number, the faster your encryption key will rotate, however, setting this
number too low may cause your wireless network to slow down.
WPA Encryption
WPA Encryption has 2 choices: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the most
commonly used encryption method. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) can be
used if your wireless clients do not support TKIP.
