Shared Key -

devices must have identical WEP settings in or-

der to communicate in the network

WPA -

Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates

users onto the wireless network. WPA uses stronger security

than WEP and is based on a key that changes automatically at

a regular interval. This mode requires a RADIUS server in the

network.

WPA-PSK -

Pre-Shared Key mode means that the wireless cli-

ent and the router must have the same passphrase in order to

establish the wireless connection. A RADIUS server is

not

the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar cli-

ents are denied access.

tication period. After this period expires, a new key will auto-

matically be generated.
