users that data will remain protected and that only authorized users may access their networks. For enterprises that have already deployed IEEE 802.1x authentication, WPA offers the advantage of leveraging existing authentication databases and infrastructure. • WPA-PSK – This is a special mode designed for home and small business users who do not have access to network authentication servers.
NOTE: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the integrity of any communication. ASCii/Passphrase: Select either option and enter in the text field. You must use the same passphrase or WEP key settings for all wireless computers within the network.
• Max — This places the card in a power saving mode when it’s idle. wireless Mode: Select one of two options. • 802.11b — This card is compatible with both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations, but if you prefer to limit network access to 802.11b wireless stations only, you can set the card to this mode.

frequently asked questions what is the ieee 802.11g standard? 802.11g is an IEEE standard for high-speed wireless LAN communications, providing a data rate of up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. It defines the use of the same OFDM modulation technique specified in IEEE 802.11a for the 5 GHz frequency band and applies it in the same 2.4 GHz frequency band as IEEE 802.11b.

what is WPA? WPA is a more powerful security technology for Wi-Fi networks than WEP. It provides strong data protection by using encryption as well as strong access controls and user authentication. WPA utilizes 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys to ensure your wireless network’s privacy and enterprise security.
consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the tradeoff produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise.
