WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Mixed (Pre-Shared Key)
The WPA Personal is also known as “WPA-PSK” encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) introduces the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) that provides added
security. WPA2 adds full support for 802.11i standard and the CCMP (AES Encryption).
The WPA-Mixed tries to authenticate wireless clients using both WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK.
Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While
CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be
equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select Mixed to allow TKIP clients
and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.
Pre-Shared Key Format: You can select between Passphrase(ASCII) or HEX
format. Please select Passphrase if you are not sure what to use.
Pre-Shared Key: Enter the password key here..
WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA-Mixed Enterprise (Radius)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Enterprise uses Radius Server as the authenticator.
WPA2 adds full support for 802.11i standard and the CCMP (AES Encryption). The
WPA-Mixed tries to authenticate wireless clients using both WPA or WPA2.
