Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi connection methods are the techniques and protocols used to establish wireless network connections between devices and access points.
- Open Network: No password required for connection.
- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): Early encryption method, now considered insecure.
- WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): Provides stronger security with passphrase or pre-shared key (PSK).
- WPA2: Enhances WPA security with CCMP encryption.
- WPA3: Latest protocol with improved encryption and security features.
- Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Simplifies connection setup, but has security vulnerabilities.
- EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol): Provides robust authentication for enterprise networks.
- Guest Networks: Separate networks for guest access, isolated from the main network.
