Does the Router support Wireless
protected access (Wpa) security?
the router ships with WPa/WPa2 security turned on .
Windows XP and some older network hardware may
require a software update to support WPa/WPa2 .
i am having difficulty setting up Wpa security on my Router .
1 . log in to your router by visiting http://router/ with your web browser .
click on the “login” button in the top right-hand corner of the
screen . You will be asked to enter your password . if you have never
set a password, leave the “Password” field blank and click “submit” .
2 . click “Wireless” in the left-hand menu . then
click “security” just below that .
3 . select the “WPa/WPa2” option .
4 . enter a password . this can be from 8–63 characters of your choice,
including spaces and punctuation, Or a 64-digit hexadecimal
number (using only the numbers 0–9 and letters a–F) .
5 . click “apply changes” to finish . Your wireless
connection is now encrypted . each computer using your
wireless network will need to use the new key .
note: if you are configuring the router over a wireless
connection, you will have to re-connect to the
router after changing any security settings .
note: some older networking hardware supports
only WeP encryption . if your older computers cannot
connect to your network, try 128-bit or 64-bit WeP, or
seek software updates from their manufacturers .
