There are two types of WPA security: WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-
Enterprise (RADIUS). WPA-Personal (PSK) uses a so-called Pre-Shared key
as the security key. A Pre-Shared key is a password that is between eight
and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, and
other characters. Each client uses the same key to access the network.
Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment.
WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS) is a configuration wherein a radius server
distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically used
in a business environment.
Setting WPA-Personal (PSK)
1.
From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA/WPA2-PSK.
2. Select “WPA-PSK” for Authentication.
3.
For Encryption Technique, select “TKIP”. This setting will have to be
identical on the clients that you set up.
4.
Enter your Pre-Shared key. This can be from eight to 63 characters
and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used
on all of the clients that you set up. For example, your PSK might be
something like: “Smith family network key”.
5.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.
Setting WPA-Enterprise (RADIUS) Settings

use this setting.
