D-Link DWA-652 User Manual 29 Section 4 - Wireless Security Wireless Security This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DWA-652 offers the following types of security: • WPA/WPA2-Personal • WPA/WPA2-Enterprise • 802.1x (RADIUS) What is WPA™? WPA, or Wi-Fi® Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The 2 major improvements over WEP: • Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP. • User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA/WPA2-Personal uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point. WPA/WPA2-Enterprise incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. D-Link DWA-652 User Manual 30 Section 4 - Wireless Security Configure WPA™/WPA2™-Personal Using the D-Link Wireless Connection Manager It is recommended to enable WPA/WPA2-Personal on your wireless router or access point before configuring your wireless adapter.

If the network is using WPA/WPA2-Personal, the screen (as shown to the bottom-right) will appear. 3. Enter the WPA/WPA2-Personal passphrase exactly as it is on your wireless router or access point. Click the Show text in the password field box to see the passphrase. Unchecking it will hide it. 4. Click OK to connect to the network. Allow up to 30 seconds to connect. If you would like to create a new network and enter the WPA/WPA2-Personal settings, refer to the next page. D-Link DWA-652 User Manual 31 Section 4 - Wireless Security It is recommended to enable WPA™/WPA2™-Personal on your wireless router or access point before configuring your wireless adapter.
