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 .
