WLAN Profile WPA and WPA2/IEEE802.11i Settings
WPA and WPA2/IEEE802.11i security suites are available for
Infrastructure
mode only.
WPA is a security standard specified by Wi-Fi Alliance and is a close derivative of an early draft of
the IEEE802.11i specification. WEP was becoming vulnerable and finalizing the IEEE802.11i
standard was still far away. WPA2 is Wi-Fi’s subset of the broad IEEE802.11i standard to enforce
better interoperability. The PremierWave XN intelligent gateway is compliant with both WPA2 and
IEEE802.11i.

authentication server that is part of the network. The RADIUS server will match
the credentials sent by the PremierWave XN unit with an internal database.
