WPA2-PSK

This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES
(Advanced Encryption System) for protecting data. AES is very secure, considered
to be unbreakable. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless
station.
If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have
the same settings for each of the following:

WPA-802.1x

WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmis-
sions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is used:

The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.

Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.

Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data
when required.

All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automati-
cally generated, so no key input is required.
Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The
PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The
256Bit key used for the actual encryption is derived
from this key.
The same encryption method must be used. The most
common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely-
supported method is AES.
