WPA

Compatible

This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSK in the

Security Mode field.

Select the check box to have both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be

able to communicate with the NBG-416N even when the NBG-416N is

using WPA2-PSK.

Pre-Shared Key WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a simple common password for

authentication.

Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters

(including spaces and symbols).

Type a pre-shared key less than 64 case-sensitive HEX characters ("0-

9", "A-F").

Group Key

Update Timer

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using

WPA/WPA2 key management) sends a new group key out to all

clients. The re-keying process is the WPA/WPA2 equivalent of

automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a

WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is

also supported in WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mode.
