Security Settings
WPA Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients.
This PSK authenticates a user's password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point.
An authentication server is not needed. WPA Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business
environments.
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a
high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides a
stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some
corporate and government users.
