6.3.2 WPA Setting
The adapter ca n auto matically detect the WPA setting of the AP whic h t he adapter inte nds
to connect to. To connect to the AP, you s ho uld setup t he same setting with the AP.
There are two kinds of WPA mode: WPA and WPA-PSK. WPA is desig ned for enterprise
whic h req uires a RADI US Server and Certificate Server for the aut he nticatio n. WPA-PSK is
a special mode des ig ned for ho me and small b usiness users who do not ha ve access to
network authe nticatio n servers. In this mode, the user ma nua lly e nters the starting
password in their access point or gateway, as well as in eac h wireless stations in t he
network. WPA takes over automatically from that point, keeping una ut horized users that
don't ha ve the matc hing password from joining the network, while e ncrypting the data
traveling between a uthorized devices.
