How to Configure WPA-PSK Wireless Security
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also required.
Windows XP service pack 1 and Windows 2000 with service pack 3 do include WPA support.
Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. For instructions
on configuring wireless computers or PDAs for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for
the product you are using.
To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:
1. Click Wireless Settings the main menu and select WPA-PSK for the Security Option.
