Parameter Description
Association
Network Authentication Open –No authentication is needed among the wireless network.
Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key
identified) are allowed to connecting each other.
WPA – This mode is for enterprise with an authentication server
(Radius Server), WPA-enabled access point, and a WPA-enabled
client. Once WPA is enabled, all adapters and access points on the
network must be WPA-enabled in order to access the network.
WPA-PSK – It is a special mode designed for home and small
business users who do not have access to network authentication
servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user manually
enters the starting password in their access point or gateway, as
well as in each PC on the wireless network. WPA takes over
automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized users that don't
have the matching password from joining the network, while
encrypting the data traveling between authorized devices.
