You have configured a wireless access point that uses Advanced Encryption Standard security. You want to configure a pre-shared key on the wireless access point. Which of the following should you select for the wireless connection to work?
  1. Select WPA2-Personal for the wireless connection.
  2. Select WPA-Personal for the wireless connection.
  3. Select 802.1x for the wireless connection.
  4. Select WPA2-Enterprise for the wireless connection.
Explanation
Answer: B - For the wireless connection to work, select WPA-Personal.

Key Takeaway: The two types of WPA authentication are WPA and WPA2. WPA2 is more secure than WPA, but it will not work with some older network adapters. WPA is designed to be used with an 802.1X authentication server, which distributes different keys to each user. This is referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. It can also be used in a pre-shared key mode, where every user is given the same passphrase. This is referred to as WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.
