Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) builds upon WPA, which makes them very similar. Both support identical Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types in an enterprise environment, as well as allowing pre-shared keys (PSKs). Group key transmission is performed by the two-way handshake, while the four-way handshake is used for unicast generation.
The main differences are as follows:
- WPA requires Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and it supports Advanced Encryption System (AES), which provides a stronger encryption
- WPA2 requires AES, and it does not support TKIP

What two encryption methods are used in wireless networks?
The three main methods of encryption for 802.11 wireless networks are the following: # WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) # WPA (WiFi Protected Access) # WPA2 (WiFi Protected Acess)
What are the three main methods of encryption for 802.11 wireless network?
WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
What are the diferences between wpa and wpa2?
- WPA requires Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and it supports Advanced Encryption System (AES), which provides a stronger encryption - WPA2 requires AES, and it does not support TKIP
What can be enabled on a wireless network by turning on WEP or WPA?
WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc, are just encryption protocols.WEP is by far the easiest for hackers to break literally in seconds to minutes. WPA is much better but is slowly getting easier to crack, WPA2 Personal is the best you can use now for the consumer. Some fairly older wireless devices may not support WPA2 tho. At the very least use WPA with a long random password if you can't use WPA2.
What advantage does wpa2 offer over wpa?
authentication through RADIUS
Is WPA and WPA2 are secure forms of encryption?
Yes. WEP is easily hackable.
How do you play games on dsi using wpa?
It depends on the game. Most games currently don't support WPA/WPA2. And I agree; I don't know why the game does not follow the configuration setup from the DS itself. So even if you have a DSi that supports WPA/WPA2, if you have a game that does not support it, it won't work.
How can you make your psp connect with wpa2-psk?
The PSP does not support WPA2, and there's nothing you can do about it from the PSP's side. You'd have to change your router settings to WPA at least.
What is 'WPA2' used in connection with?
It is to replaced WPA which requires testing and certification by Wi-Fi alliance. WPA2 is to provide a Wi-fi protection for users, a security technology.
Where is a wep wpa wpa2 located on a belkin router?
It should be Wireless, somewhere in Security for wireless networks.
9 Which provides stronger security for a wireless network WEP or WPA?
WPA, which stands for Wi-fi Protected Access.WEP, which stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.Therefore, It just depends on the type of network you have. You seem to have a wireless network, so a WPA Encryption would be best until the IEEE's 802.11i standard encryption comes out.
Should implement wireless network will you be concerned about line of sight?
No problem - just use wireless security. (WEP WPA or WPA2)
