WPA and WPA-PSK configuration guide

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a sub-set of the forthcoming IEEE 802.11i security standard
and is currently still in draft stage. WPA addresses those known weakness of WEP and
provides stronger security to wireless network.

IOGEAR Wireless-G Broadband Gateway supports three authentication modes:
• 802.11x (need RADIUS server to authenticate the clients, using WEP keying)
• WPA (same 802.1x, but with TKIP keying support)
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key, no RADIUS server needed)

Please follow below procedures to initiate your gateway for WPA support.
