■WPA
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a safer encryption method compared with WEP and WAP-
PSK. It requires a RADIUS server to authenticate the clients via 802.1X and EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol). WPA can generate different passwords for different clients, which
ensures higher network security. But it also costs more to maintain the network, so it is more
suitable for business networks.
