Setting WPA Security

Note: To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be
equipped with software that supports WPA. At the time this User
Manual was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for
free download. This patch works only with Windows XP.
Your Router supports WPA-PSK (no server). WPA-PSK uses what is
known as a pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key is
basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It
can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client
uses the same key to access the network. Typically this is the mode
that will be used in a home environment.

Setting WPA-PSK
1.

From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no

server)”.

2.

For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting will

have to be identical on the clients that you set up.

3.

Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63 characters

and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be
used on all of the clients that you set up.

4.

Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to

match these settings.
