Quote: BTW: Is there a practical difference between WPA and WPA-PSK (pre shared key)?
When both terms are used, WPA will require a RADIUS authentication server and each user had their own login. WPA-PSK means every client is given the same key to make initial contact with the network. The other term for this is WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise.
Odd that the squeezebox model with 802.11b doesn't have an upgrade to WPA. They designed WPA to be backwards compatible with existing 802.11b equipment to try and get everyone off WEP. WPA2 also exists out there, but does generally require new equipment.
My personal setup consists of using WPA and WPA2 off the same base station. Clients that support WPA2 connect using it, and clients using WPA (like my Sony PSP) can also still connect.
