WPA Setting
The adapter can automatically detect the WPA setting of the access point to which the
adapter is intended to connect.
There are two kinds of WPA mode:
WPA
and
WPA-PSK
.
WPA
is designed for enterprise
which requires a RADIUS Server and Certificate Server for the authentication.
WPA-PSK
is a special mode designed for home and small business users who do not have access
to network authentication servers. In this mode, the user manually enters the starting
password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each wireless station in the
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.
