WPA/WPA2 - Personal

WPA-Personal (a.k.a. WPA-PSK) is a common method to secure wireless

networks. In the Personal mode, a pre-shared key or passphrase is used for

authentication. This pre-shared key is then dynamically sent between the AP and

clients.

WPA/WPA2 - Enterprise WPA-Enterprise (a.k.a. WPA-802.1x, RADIUS) includes all of the features of

WPA-Personal (WPA-PSK) plus support for 802.1x RADIUS authentication and is

appropriate in those cases where a RADIUS server is deployed. WPA-Enterprise

should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected for client authentication.
