WPA, WPA2 Authentication & TKIP, AES Encryption
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security
features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). This is used along with 802.1x
security setting. The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products
that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption
through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a
hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity-checking feature which makes sure
that keys haven’t been tampered with. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables a variety of authentication
protocols to be used. It passes through the exchange of authentication messages,
allowing the authentication software stored in a server to interact with its
counterpart in the client.
Authentication Type: Select WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list.
Encryption: Select TKIP or AES from the drop-down list.

WPA-PSK Authentication & TKIP, AES Encryption
WPA – PSK (Pre-shared Key) is used in a Pre Shared Key mode that does not
require an authentication server. Access to the Internet and the rest of the
wireless network services is allowed only if the pre-shared key of the computer
matches that of the Access Point. This approach offers the simplicity of the WEP
