setting WPa security

Note: To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be

equipped with software that supports WPA. At the time this User Manual

was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for free

download. This patch works only with Windows XP.

Your Router supports WPA-Personal (PSK), which uses what is known

as a pre-shared key (PSK) as the security key. A pre-shared key is

basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It

can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client

uses the same key to access the network. Typically this is the mode that

will be used in a home environment.

From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select

characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This

same key must be used on all of the clients that you set up.

3� Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients

to match these settings.
