WPA2 is an expanded version of WPA that fully supports IEEE 802.11i.

As with WPA, the printer performs authentication using an external authentication server (RADIUS server) that supports IEEE 802.1X.

Performs authentication using an encryption key (a Pre-Shared Key) that is shared by the access point and client. External authentication servers are not used.
