WPA-Enterprise (EAP) requires the user to install a RADIUS server on the network for authentication. 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.
