setting WPa/WPa2-Personal (PsK)

Both WPA and WPA2 are available in Personal (PSK) mode and

Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, Personal (PSK) is the mode

that will be used in a home environment, while Enterprise (RADIUS) is

implemented in a business environment where an external radius server

distributes the network key to the clients automatically. Your Router

supports WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).

1�

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

page under “Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal

(PSK)” from the “Security Mode” drop-down menu.

2�

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

or “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK”. 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). 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” to finish. You

must now set all wireless clients to match these settings.

IMPoRTaNT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to

work with WPA or WPA2, and have the correct settings to get proper

connection to the Router.
