Network Authentication

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data

protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA-Personal enforces key-exchange and only works

with dynamic encryption keys. If your wireless access point or router supports WPA-Personal or WPA2-

Personal, then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. For personal

or home networks without a RADIUS or AAA server, use Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal.

● WPA-Personal: A wireless security method that provides strong data protection and prevents

unauthorized network access for small networks. It uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or

AES-CCMP encryption and protects against unauthorized network access through the use of a pre-

shared key (PSK).

● WPA2-Personal: A follow-on wireless security method to WPA that provides stronger data

protection and prevents unauthorized network access for small networks.

NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.

Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating system and may require

additional software or certain hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support. Check with your

computer manufacturer for details.

To add a profile with WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal network authentication:

1. Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window. Or if you are acting as the administrator,

open the

Administrator Tool.

2. On the Profiles list/tab, click Add to open the Create WiFi Profile General Settings.

3. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.

4. WiFi Network Name (SSID): Enter the network identifier.

5. Operating Mode: Click Network (Infrastructure). (This parameter is set to Infrastructure if you

are using the Administrator Tool.)

6. Administrator Profile Type: Select

Persistent or Pre-logon/Common. (This step applies only if you

are using the Administrator Tool.)

7. Click Next to open the Security Settings.

8. Click Enterprise Security.

9. Network Authentication: Select WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal. See

Security Overview.

10. Data Encryption: Select either

TKIP or AES-CCMP.

11. Password: Enter a text phrase from 8 to 63 characters. The longer the password, the stronger the

security of the wireless network. The same password entered into an access points needs to be used

on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.

Enterprise Network Authentication

WPA2-Enterprise requires an authentication server.

● WPA-Enterprise: A wireless security method that provides strong data protection for multiple

users and large managed networks. It uses the 802.1X authentication framework with TKIP or AES-

CCMP encryption and prevents unauthorized network access by verifying network users through an

authentication server.

● WPA2-Enterprise: The follow-on wireless security method to WPA that provides stronger data
