WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
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, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must
be upgraded to support WPA. These updates will be found on the
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 basically a password that is
between eight 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.
