setting WPa/WPa2-Personal (PsK)
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK)

mode and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode . Typically, WPA2-Personal

(PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-

Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where

an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients

automatically . Your Router supports WPA2-Personal (PSK) .
1� After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under

“Wireless” and select “WPA-PSK(no server)” from the “Security Mode”

drop-down menu .
2� For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or “WPA-

PSK + WPA2-PSK” . This setting will have to be identical on the wireless

clients that you set up . “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK” mode will allow the

Router to support clients running either WPA or WPA2 security .
3� For “Encryption Technique” will auto-fill depending on the

authentication type above . This setting will have to be identical on the

wireless clients that you set up .
4� Enter your pre-shared key (PSK) . 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 wireless clients that you set up . For example, your

PSK might be something like: “Smith family network key” . Click “Apply

Changes” to finish . You must now set all wireless clients to match these

settings .

IMPoRTaNT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work

with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper connection to the

Router .
