WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

 

5

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that was designed

to improve upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security,

 

6

the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded

to support WPA. These updates will be found on the wireless vendors’

 

 

websites. There are two types of WPA security: WPA-Personal (PSK) and

7

WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS).

WPA-Personal (PSK)

8

This method uses what is known as a Pre-Shared key as the Network

 

 

key. A Network key is basically a password that is between eight and

9

63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or

characters. Each client uses the same Network key to access the network.

Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment.

10

 

WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS)

With this system, a radius server distributes the Network key to the clients 11 automatically. This is typically found in a business environment. For a list of Belkin wireless products that support WPA, please visit our website at www.belkin.com/networking.

WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access)

WPA2 is the second generation of WPA based 802.11i standard. It offers higher level of wireless security by combining advanced network authentication and stronger AES encryption method. Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode and WPA2- Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients automatically.
