WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support it. These updates will be found on your wireless vendor’s website. There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server), and WPA (with radius server).

WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the network key. A network key is a password that is between 8 and 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.

WPA (with radius server) is a system where a radius server distributes the network key to the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment.
