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.
