What is WiFi Protected Access (WPA)?
WPA offers better protection than the older standard known as WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy). Instead of relying on a single key used by all connecting devices, WPA requires user authentication to connect. The encryption keys for WPA are scrambled and a special feature is in place to verify the keys haven't been tampered with. Unfortunately, not all devices are compatable with WPA, so you may have to use WEP instead if your devices don't support WPA.
