WPA2: WPA2 provides a stronger encry ption mechanism than WPA. WPA2 is the second
generation of WPA security, pr o viding personal and enterpris e users with a high leve l of
assurance that only authorized users can access to their wireless network. There is no difference
between WPA and WPA2. The only difference is that WPA2 provides a stronger data encryption
via the AES, contrast to WPA, which uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Choose WPA2
if needed from Authentication Mode.
WPA2-PSK: Like WPA, WPA2-Personal offers authentication via a pre-shared key. Pre-shared
key is usually used for Personal authentication. Personal mode requires only an access point and
client on the network. Similarl y , you need to type a mixture of numbers and letters in the
Pre-shared key section of this menu. You may input either 8-63 ASCII characters or 64 HEX
characters. Choose WPA2-PSK if needed from Authentication Mode.
