Web User Interface 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-Enterprise 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. WPA3 is an upgrade of WPA2. WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA2. DIS-3650AP supports WPA/WPA2 Enterprise and WPA3 Personal only, it does not support WPA3 Enterprise due to hardware limitation. 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 Only, WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 use different algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2, and WPA2 or WPA3 allows you to use both of WPA2 and WPA3. Cipher Type: When you selectWPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu. Group Key Update: Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. The default value of 1800 is recommended. Pass Phrase: When you selectWPA-Personal, please enter a Pass Phrase in the corresponding field. 26

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-Enterprise 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.
WPA3 is an upgrade of WPA2. WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA2.
DIS-3650AP supports WPA/WPA2 Enterprise and WPA3 Personal only,
it does not support WPA3 Enterprise due to hardware limitation.
