Set up a Client with WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal Network
Authentication
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of
data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces key-exchange and only
works with dynamic encryption keys. If your wireless AP or router supports WPA-Personal and
WPA2-Personal then you should enable it on the AP and provide a long, strong password. For
personal or home networks without a RADIUS or AAA server, use Wi-Fi Protected Access
Personal.
● WPA-Personal: A wireless security method that provides strong data protection and
prevents unauthorized network access for small networks. It uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) encryption or
AES-CCMP and protects against unauthorized network
access through the use of a pre-shared key (PSK).
● WPA2-Personal: A follow-on wireless security method to WPA that provides stronger
data protection and prevents unauthorized network access for small networks.
NOTE: WPA-Personal or WPA2 Personal are not interoperable.
Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating system
and may require additional software or certain hardware as well as wireless LAN
infrastructure support. Check with your computer manufacturer for details.
