Networks secured with WPA-Personal ask for a network password when you connect (known as a pre-shared key or PSK). The most common is WPA-Personal, which is probably the type of security you use at home or are most familiar with.

We look at the differences between WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise, and highlight why your business should really be using WPA-Enterprise.
