At SecureW2, we provide wireless support for large enterprises, small businesses, universities, healthcare providers, K12 schools, and more. But is it a viable option to use WPA2-Enterprise to secure your home network? Why Use WPA2-Enterprise at Home?Īs stated above, the WPA2-Enterprise network type is most commonly used by organizations of all sizes. When comparing traditional home Wi-Fi security to enterprise Wi-Fi security, the difference is night and day. Of course, the rise in remote work brought out new challenges, especially in the world of cybersecurity. Remote work is the future many did not expect to come so quickly. Now people from every industry imaginable have adapted to working from home, and many aren’t turning back. For years, the number of remote workers has steadily increased until the COVID-19 pandemic and the sudden surge of remote work. WPA2-Enterprise is supported by all modern operating systems, including mobile platforms (Android/iOS).Securing home wireless networks has never been as important. WPA2-Enterprise uses the 802.1x protocol, which can also be used for wired connections to authenticate connections. WPA2-Etnerprise uses enhanced security methods compared to WPA2-PSK and also because each user has a unique logon, it's easier to revoke the permission of individual users or devices without having to change the common password for everyone. With WPA2-Enterprise, each user of the wireless network has either their own unique username and password (PEAP mode) or a certificate installed on the device (EAP-TLS mode). Anyone with that key can then access your network, meaning that if people are sloppy with protecting passwords, or share them with others, those 'others' have access to your network until you change your WPA2 key. With WPA2-PSK (the PSK stand for 'Pre-shared-Key'), all users share a simple security key -the WiFi password you enter into your client device. It is considered more secure than standard WPA2 (also known as WPA2-PSK). "WPA2 Enterprise" (also known as WPA- 802.1X) is an enhanced wireless (WiFi) security method.
