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
security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must
be upgraded to support WPA. These updates will be found on the
wireless vendors’ websites. There are two types of WPA security:
WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server).
WPA-PSK (no server)
This method uses what is known as a Pre-Shared key 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 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.
WPA (with radius server)
With this system, a radius server distributes the Network key to
the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business
environment. For a list of Belkin wireless products that support WPA,
