*** Excuse me, but the explanation given here is not correct. Vangie Beal wrote, "Short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key, and also called WPA or WPA2 Personal, it is a method of securing your network using WPA2 with the use of the optional Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication, which was designed for home users without an enterprise authentication server." see http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/WPA2PSK.html. An article in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-FiProtected_Access, states the same. Please correct the explanation. ***
Edit: I guess the key point in here is what a server is. In WPA mutual authentication for the supplicator and the authenticator is needed. The authenticator, usually a WiFi router, act as a server for all the clients. Another thing that I would like to point out is that the term "AP" or "access point" is very loosely defined in the questions. To me, AP is basically a "wireless LAN cable" while a WiFi router is a router + AP. Somehow in the questions here, an AP always have a router behind. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Edit: An AP is an Access Point, the point where you access the wireless network. How are you supposed to access a network without routing?
