Chapter 2 Basic Installation & Configuration
WPA2 is short for Wi-FI Protected Access 2, the follow on security
method to WPA for wireless networks that provides stronger data
protection and network access control. It provides enterprise and consumer
Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can
access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2-
Enterprise, and WPA2-Personal. WPA2-Enterprise verifies network users
through a server. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized network access
by utilizing a set-up password. For environments without a Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure such as
small office/home office (SOHO) networks, WPA2-Personal supports the
use of a pre-shared key (PSK).
WPA2-PSK is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-Shared Key. WPA2-
Personal supports PSK(pre-shared key). WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are
special modes designed for small office/home office users who do not have
access to the network authentication servers.
If you want to use WPA as the authentication of GW-DS300N, you can
refer to the following instructions to do the configuration.
