WPA-PSK or WPA-802.1x?

[9761]

Which is better or the best?

WPA PSK I think. Not sure though =/

Edit:

WPA-PSK - This version of WPA uses a PSK (Pre-shared Key) for authentication, so you don't need a Radius Server. All Wireless stations need to use the same PSK (Pre-shared Key). Data transmissions are encrypted using a 256 Bit key derived from the PSK. This key changes regularly, providing greater protection. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible.

WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires the use of a Radius server for authentication. Each user (Wireless Client) must have a "user" login on the Radius Server, and this device must have a "client" login on the Radius server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key which is automatically generated.

Probably the latter, but whether you can be bothered setting it up versus the former, which is more than strong enough (with a sensible passphrase).

WPA will be fine providing you use a 63 characters/504 bits password like:

That isn't your company's wpa key is it?

Lol! Nope, just some random one I bashed into the keyboard.
