WPA2 Enterprise with AES encryption is the most secure followed closely by WPA2 using AES. AES is a more secure encryption than the older TKIP and AES is made to work the 802.11n standard. PSK just means pre shared key. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 |

is there WPA2 Enterprise ? Yes you will notice the choice of WPA2 Enterprise when you add a wireless profile.
You also need to enable the option in your routers wireless set up page. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 |

WPA2-PSK with AES is best without taking all the extra steps required to use Enterprise.
You've got to set the router/access point to accomodate the devices you plan connecting it with. If you've got two devices (PC's, etc.), one with 802.11g and the other with 802.11n, you've got to set the router/access point to operate in "mixed" mode or "g/n" only (it depends on the terms they use for the options). If your devices are all 802.11n, select "n" only.
In the PC all you need to know is the SSID and the encryption key you've got set in the router/access point. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 |

Where are you seeing 802.11, without the additional letter (ie, b, g, n, etc.)? As far as I know, all wireless conforms to some version of the 802.11 standards.
I must be misunderstanding that remark... | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 |

WPA2 Personal is plenty secure, don't worry about the second page, 802.11i FIPS is security for Government LANS only.
Enterprise needs to be supported by your router and the driver also I believe, if the option doesn't show up your router doesn't support it or it's not enabled.
Hopefully the original question is now answered. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK ? problems?
