Explanation

WPA2-Personal, also known as WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), uses PSK authentication. PSK authentication is a method where a pre-shared key (a password or passphrase) is shared between the wireless access point (AP) and the client devices. In WPA2-Personal/PSK mode, all client devices connecting to the wireless network must use the same pre-shared key to authenticate and access the network. This key is manually configured on both the AP and the client devices. The pre-shared key is used as a shared secret to generate encryption keys for securing the wireless communications.
