WPA2:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was introduced as an interim solution for the vulnerability of WEP pending the
adoption of a more robust wireless security standard. WPA2 includes the complete wireless security standard,
but also offers backward compatibility with WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 provide an enterprise and personal mode
of operation.
The page includes the following fields:

Authentication Mode

128-bit keys.
Figure 5-38 Security Settings – WPA2 Personal
You can disable the encryption or select WEP, WPA2, and WPA-Mixed as the
encryption method to your wireless network.
Select "Enterprise (RADIUS)" for user authentication and you will require a
RADIUS authentication server to be configured on the wired network. Select
"Personal (Pre-Shared Key)" and you will require a pre-shared key to be
configured for client authentication.
Management frame protection (MFP) provides security for the otherwise
unprotected and unencrypted 802.11 management messages passed
between access points and clients. MFP provides both infrastructure and
client support. If you choose this to "Required", then clients are allowed to
associate only if MFP is negotiated. If you choose "Capable", then the
non-supporting clients are allows to associate (without using MFP).
