WEP + Use 802.1x Authentication

WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Mixed + Personal (Pre-Shared Key)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless
(Wi-Fi) computer networks. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network inter-
face cards, but not necessarily with rst generation wireless access points. WPA2
implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both
provide good security, with two signicant issues:
Either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. •
WEP is usually presented as the rst security choice in most installation in-
structions.
In the “Personal” mode, the most likely choice for homes and small ofces, a •
pass phrase is required that, for full security, must be longer than the typical 6
to 8 character passwords users are taught to employ.
