Chapter 2 Basic Installation & Configuration

WPA2 is short for Wi-FI Protected Access 2, the follow on security

method to WPA for wireless networks that provides stronger data

protection and network access control. It provides enterprise and consumer

Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can

access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2-

Enterprise, and WPA2-Personal. WPA2-Enterprise verifies network users

through a server. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized network access

by utilizing a set-up password. For environments without a Remote

Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) infrastructure such as

small office/home office (SOHO) networks, WPA2-Personal supports the

use of a pre-shared key (PSK).

WPA2-PSK is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-Shared Key. WPA2-

Personal supports PSK(pre-shared key). WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are

special modes designed for small office/home office users who do not have

access to the network authentication servers.

If you want to use WPA as the authentication of GW-DS300N, you can

refer to the following instructions to do the configuration.
