Wireless network security protocols are essential for enhancing security, privacy and confidentiality. However, network security protocols also require network resources in other to carry out authentication of users through the use of encryption keys and packet encryption. It is therefore relevant to investigate the effects of the amount of resources used by recommended wireless network security protocols in other to determine if user quality of experience and user quality of service is affected by the implementation wireless network security protocols. Our research investigates and examines the effect of security protocols on wireless network performance. The Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK) was used as the security protocol in focus while throughput was the network performance feature that was analyzed. Experiments were carried out which showed that throughput in a non-secured Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a bit higher than throughput in a secured WLAN. Our research contributes to the future development of WLAN protocols with low network resource consumption in other to contribute to improved network performance.
