Configure WPA-Personal
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless access point 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 access point
(192.168.0.50). Click on
Wireless Settings
on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select
Enable
WPA Wireless Security, Enable
WPA2 Wireless Security, or Enable
WPA2-Auto Wireless Security.
3. Next to Cipher Mode, select
TKIP, AES, or
Auto.
4. Next to Personal / Enterprise, select
Personal.
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 access point with a wireless adapter, you will
lose connectivity until you enable WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, or WPA2-Auto-Personal on your adapter and
enter the same passphrase as you did on the access point.
