The WPA-Enterprise is one variant of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) -- secu-
rity standards published by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA Mode further refines
the variant that the router should employ.
The WPA-Enterprise option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate
wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary
credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this
Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server
to allow this gateway to authenticate users.
WPA Mode. WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that
will be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the
newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With
