Operation

2. WPA-PSK configuration

WPA Pre-Shared Key
There are two ways to configure WPA Pre-Shared Key:

1) PassPhrase Mode: Input a phrase into the field. The Wireless-G Broadband Gateway
will automatically generate a Pre-Shared Key based on the phrase you enter. The phrase
can be within 8 to 63 characters (we recommend at least 12 characters to achieve a
sufficient level of security).

2) Hex mode: Input 64 hexadecimal digits. Please write down the key you enter. You will
need to enter same key to your wireless client side.

WPA Group Rekey Interval
This gateway could change the group key periodically. Enter the period you want into the WPA
Group Rekey Interval filed.

Encryption Type
The current version only supports TKIP encryption. AES encryption will be available soon.
