WPA2 and WPA2-PSK (AES)
. Wi-Fi Protected Access version
2 (WPA2) data encryption
provides strong data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The
very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA2 makes it
virtually impossible to compromise.
WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see the following

WPA & WPA2 and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK mixed modes
. These modes support data
encryption either with both WPA and WPA2 clients or with both WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK clients and provide the most reliable security.
