WPA / WPA2 / WPA2 Mixed Passphrase

ƒ Encryption: Select WPA, WPA2 or WPA2_Mixed from the drop-down list if your

wireless network uses this encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed

to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The

technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled

with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity

Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding

an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.

ƒ WPA Authentication Mode: Select the Personal (Pre-Shared Key) radio button.

ƒ WPA/WPA2: Select TKIP, AES or both as the cipher suite.

ƒ Pre-Shared Key Format: Select Passphrase from the drop-down list.

ƒ Pre-Shared Key: Enter the pass phrase; this should be between 8 and 63 characters.

ƒ Click on the Apply Changes button to confirm the changes. This device will

automatically restart once these changes have been applied.
