In addition. PSK is "pre-shared key" as opposed to using RADIUS for authentication (which is more a pain in the butt to set up than is worth it unless you have 100 laptops that move between networks...) What most people mean by WPA or WPA2 is: WPA/TKIP/PSK or WPA2/AES/PSK It is technically possible to use WPA/AES or WPA2/TKIP, both standards list the other encryption method as optional, but in reality, very few products support using the non-standard encryption. > > Don't use WEP. Very true. WPA2 offers some theoretical protection over WPA, but so far the only method of breaking WPA works just as well for WPA2 (ie, don't use "password" or "LinkSys" as your key.. make up anything that is not a dictionary word). WEP is another matter entirely... run away from it if you can... consider retiring WEP-only devices. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42737 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
