IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this
Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS
server. This mode also uses WEP to encrypt the data during communication.

4.4.4. WPA Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key
to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or
CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be
broken by hackers. This can improve security very much.
