Section 3 - Configuration Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2 / WPA3) WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP). WPA-EAP requires the user to install a RADIUS Server on the network for authentication. WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a RADIUS Server on the network. Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today. WPA2/WPA3 are upgrades of WPA. WPA2/WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2/WPA3 have two variations called WPA2/WPA3-Personal (PSK) and WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise (EAP) which are the same as found with WPA. WPA Mode: When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 or WPA3,WPA2 Only or WPA3 Only. Cipher Type: When you selectWPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the drop-down menu. Group Key Update: Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. The default value of 3600 is recommended. Pass Phrase: When you select WPA-Personal, enter a Pass Phrase in the corresponding field. D-Link DAP-X2850 User Manual 19

Section 3 - Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2 / WPA3)
WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i
standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA-EAP requires the user to install a RADIUS Server on the network for authentication.
WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a RADIUS Server on the network.
Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure
than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.
WPA2/WPA3 are upgrades of WPA. WPA2/WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2/WPA3 have two variations
called WPA2/WPA3-Personal (PSK) and WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise (EAP) which are the same as found with WPA.
