WatchGuard wireless Fireboxes use the WPA2 and WPA3 security protocol standards to protect your wireless network. This security mode encrypts the transmissions on the wireless LAN between the computers and the access points. They also can prevent unauthorized access to the wireless access point.
- WPA2 Personal — WPA2 is the latest and most secure protocol for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac devices. You must type a Passphrase that wireless users must use to connect to this SSID.
- WPA3 Personal — WPA3 is the latest and most secure protocol for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) devices. WPA3 enables Protected Management Frames (802.11w) for higher security. Wireless clients must also support 802.11ax to use WPA3. You must type a Passphrase that wireless users must use to connect to this SSID.
- WPA3/WPA2 Personal — A mixed mode of WPA3 and WPA2 protocols. You must type a Passphrase that wireless users must use to connect to this SSID.
- WPA2 Enterprise — The WPA2 protocol with enterprise RADIUS authentication. For more information, go to Enterprise Authentication with RADIUS.
- WPA3 Enterprise — The WPA3 protocol with enterprise RADIUS authentication. For more information, go to Enterprise Authentication with RADIUS.
To protect privacy, you can use these features together with other LAN security mechanisms, for example, password protection, VPN tunnels, and user authentication.
