Using WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two
security protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in response to the weaknesses
of WEP.
Selecting WPA as the Encryption Method allows you to choose WPA version, WPA
Authentication and WPA Algorithm. This section discusses WPA-PSK (pre-shared
key). For information on WPA-Enterprise (WPA-802.1X), see
Settings" on page
WPA-PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) allows automatic key generation based
on a single passphrase. WPA-PSK provides strong security for small and medium
organizations and does not require a RADIUS server, but may not be supported on
older wireless devices. In some cases, the older devices can be upgraded with
adapters to take advantage of WPA-PSK.
