This topic also covers use of the unencrypted security mode for AP-to-station traffic on the Guest
network, which is intended for less sensitive data traffic.
Understanding WPA (PSK) Data Encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access (Pre-Shared Key) or WPA (PSK) is a more robust form of security than Static
WEP. Formerly known as WPA-Home, WPA (PSK) works using a pre-shared key which is basically a
shared password between the APs on a bridged link. WPA (PSK) provides enhanced 802.11 wireless
security without the need for a RADIUS authentication infrastructure, which is both complicated and
expensive to implement.
Since WPA (PSK) encryption relies upon a shared key, both APs on the WDS link must be set with the
same key, otherwise they will not be able to communicate and share information.
Note: For security reasons it is recommended you change the shared keys on your WDS
bridge o
n a regular basis.
