6.3.2 WPA Setting
The adapter can automatically detect the WPA setting of the AP which the
adapter intends to connect to. To connect to the AP, you should setup the
same setting with the AP.
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 stations 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.
