Section Field Description
WPA
Security for Personal Networks – WPA or WPA2 Personal Modes
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a more secure wireless technology than WEP. WPA can be used
for both Enterprise (corporate applications) and Personal (home network) wireless networks. We
strongly recommend that you select either WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal as the security mode
for your home network, depending on which mode is supported by the wireless adapter in your
PC or wireless clients.
WPA-Personal (aka WPA-PSK or WPA-Pre-Shared Key), provides a more secure wireless
network that WEP. WPA-Personal introduces TKIP user authentication and stronger encryption
keys than WEP.
WPA2-Personal (aka WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Pre-Shared Key) provides the most secure standards-
based wireless networking. WPA2-Personal incorporates AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
for data transmission.
Note:
Not all wireless adapters support WPA2. WPA is supported across a wider range of
devices. Whether you use WPA or WPA2, make sure to use a “strong” passphrase. A strong
passphrase is a string of random characters at least 21 characters in length.
Select from one of the following three WPA or WPA2 Personal modes:

WPA-Personal

WPA2-Personal

WPA or WPA2-Personal
