Configure WPA-PSK

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish

wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to

the added overhead.

1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).

Click on

Wireless Settings on the left side.

2. Next to Security Mode, select

Enable WPA-Personal Security

or

Enable WPA2-Personal Security.

3. Next to Cipher Mode, select

TKIP, AES, or Auto.

4. Next to PSK/EAP, select

PSK.

5. Next to Passphrase, enter a key (passphrase). The key is an

alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces.

Make sure you enter this key exactly the same on all other wireless clients.

6. Enter the passphrase again next to Confirmed Passphrase.

7. Click

Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose

connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK (or WPA2-PSK) on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did

on the router.
