How to Configure WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:

1. Click Wireless Settings in the Setup section of the main menu and select one of the WPA-

PSK or WPA2-PSK options for the Security Type. The third option (WPA-PSK [TKIP] +
WP2-PSK [AES]
) is the most flexible, since it allows clients using either WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK.

2. Enter a word or group of 8-63 printable characters in the Passphrase box.

3. Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also

required. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include WPA
support. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support
WPA. For instructions on configuring wireless computers or PDAs (Personal
Digital Assistants) for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the
product you are using.
