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.
