section Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 1 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 2 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, 3 WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server). WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key 4 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 5 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. 6 For a list of Belkin wireless products that support WPA, please visit our website at www.belkin.com/networking. 7 8 9 10 11 39
