Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encrypted connection
type that protects your network against unintended ac-

authorization key used by the devices to log on to your

WPA2 is an upgraded version of WPA. The method of en-
cryption is an enhanced version of WPA. WPA2 is however
not supported by all devices.
