Detailed explanation-1: -WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) are two security standards that protect wireless networks. WPA2 is the second generation of the Wi-Fi Protected Access security standard and so is more secure than its predecessor, WPA.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of wifi encryption protocols: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and Wi-Fi Protected Access Version 2 (WPA2). These encryptions have one thing in common-protecting the data on your network-but the main difference lies in how well they do so.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Automatically configures a wireless network with a network name (SSID) and a strong WPA security key for authentication and data encryption. Supports various Wi-Fi certified 802.11 products, ranging from access points, wireless adapters, Wi-Fi phones, and other electronic devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key or WPA-PSK is a system of encryption used to authenticate users on wireless local area networks.

Detailed explanation-5: -The SSID automatically chooses the encryption algorithm used by each client device. This security mode is a good choice to enable a higher level of security while allowing access by devices that might not support WPA2.
