Depends on what you mean with "WPA" and "WPA2". If by WPA you mean that
TKIP is enabled, then yes, it would be must more secure to switch to
WPA2. If only CCMP is enabled and you are just talking about difference
between WPA and WPA2/RSN for 4-way handshake, then there is not really
much difference as far as security is concerned.

rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa=2
