WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Mixed + Personal (Pre-Shared Key)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)
computer networks. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not
necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will
not work with some older network cards. Both provide good security, with two significant issues:
•
Either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually
presented as the first security choice in most installation instructions.
•
In the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a pass phrase is
required that, for full security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users
are taught to employ.
