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)�

IMPoRTanT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work

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

the Router�

After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” under

“Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the

“Security Mode” drop-down menu

(1)�

2�

For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or “WPA-

PSK + WPA2-PSK”

(2)� 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�

Enter your pre-shared key (PSK)

(3)� 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”

(4) to finish� You must now set all

wireless clients to match these settings�
