WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular, it introduces CCMP, a new AES-based encryption mode with strong security.
For more information, go to the Wikipedia link attached to this post.
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)
You have to have a router capable of supporting WPA2 as well as a wireless adapter in your computer should support it too. If you are sure that you satisfy both, you need to log in your router, and in settings for wireless network security choose WPA2.
WPA2
The suffix in the word encoded is -ed.
You're referring to a WEP/WPA/WPA2 key. These aren't on your Xbox, they are actually Passwords for your router/wireless internet. You can get these from your network settings on your computer if using Windows 7, on the router itself, or if you have a Gateway, check the gateway or contact your Internet Service Provider.
WEP is the most basic and is easily broken by knowledgeable people. WPA2 is newer and is much more seure.
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.
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.
WPA2 with AES is more secure than TKIP. As of December 2009, TKIP is considered breakable while AES is currently considered not breakable.
I'm using window-xp, (sp3), i know how to make an adhoc network, and I'm using it now, i even know how to share internet in window xp among two computers(using adhoc), I've been searching for this all over the internet, and never find an answer to share wpa2 in window xp, my computer is able to connect to wpa2 but this is not what i want, i want the pc to share the wpa2, because my phone is not supported adhoc, but only wpa2 and other wifi,, connectify doesn't work, if there's a way to make my window xp share (wpa2) wireless, it would be a wish for me to know it ,, i want to download some app in my phone, but it can't connect to adhoc,, so is there a way to make my xp share wpa2 wireless?
Encoded and it means "typed a message".
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.
