WPA Configuration


Short for Wi-Fi Protected Access, a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP.
WPA has the following improvements over the WEP.

Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an integrity-

checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with.


User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP
regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively
simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only
authorized network users can access the network.


WPA Enabled
