Network
Authentication •
Open
Open access to the network. Anyone can access. See Open,
page 114 .
•
Shared
WEP encryption strength may be 64 or 128 bit. Up to four
different keys can be set, though only one it active at any
time. See
Shared, page 115 .
•
802.1x
An IEEE standard which designed for enterprise use which
has an authentication server. See
802.1x, page 116 .
•
WPA
WPA strengthens authentication and implements most of
the IEEE 802.11i standard, notably adding TKIP
encryption. See
WPA, page 117 .
•
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is for small offices and home offices and is
mainly WPA without the authentication server. PSK is
sometimes referred to the “personal edition” rather than the
“enterprise edition.” See
WPA-PSK, page 118 .
•
WPA2
WPA2 is an upgrade to WPA whose main enhancement is
AES encryption, though AES has since been added to
WPA. See
WPA2, page 119 .
•
WPA2-PSK
WPA2-PSK is enabled by default. WPA2-PSK, like WPA,
is mainly WPA2 without the authentication server. See
WPA2-PSK, page 120 .
•
Mixed WPA2/WPA
Mixed WPA2/WPA supports both WPA2 and WPA in the
same environment, and is useful when upgrading between
the two authentication methods. See
Mixed WPA2/WPA,
page 121 .
•
Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK
Like Mixed WPA2/WPA, Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK
supports both WPA2 and WPA-PSK in the same
environment, and is the personal edition. Mixed WPA2/
WPA-PSK is useful when upgrading between the two
authentication methods. See
Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK,
page 122 .
