Because it requires a separate machine acting as the authentication server,
802.1x is most often used in business environments.
WPA
— WPA is a more recent encryption method that addresses many of the
weaknesses in WEP. Any client capable of WPA encryption should use it
instead of WEP.
WPA (PSK)
— This is WPA encryption combined with a
pre-shared key (PSK)
,
which is a text string known only to the gateway and authorized wireless
clients. The gateway rejects the login if the client's PSK does not match.
WPA2
— WPA2 is a more advanced encryption method than WPA. Because it
is a more recent standard, some of user’s wireless devices might not be able
to use it.
WPA2 (PSK)
— This option uses WPA2 with a pre-shared key.
WPA2 Mixed
— This option supports WPA2/WPA encryption for devices
capable of one or the other standard. The gateway automatically detects
whether a particular device can use WPA2 or WPA.
