Wi-Fi Protected Access (Wpa / Wpa2) - D-Link DAP-2662 User Manual

Web User Interface
WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard.
There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA-Enterprise requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication.
WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network.
Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than
WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.
WPA2 is an upgrade of WPA. WPA2 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2 has two variations called WPA2-Personal (PSK)
and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) which is the same as found with WPA.
WPA Mode: When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type,
you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down
menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only.
WPA and WPA2 use different algorithms. AUTO (WPA or
WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2.
Cipher Type: When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO,
AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu.
Group Key Update:
Select the interval during which the group key will be valid.
The default value of 1800 is recommended.
Pass Phrase: When you select WPA-Personal, please enter a Pass Phrase
in the corresponding field.
