Does the Router support Wireless

Protected access (WPa) security?

The Router ships with WPA/WPA2 security turned on .

Windows XP and some older network hardware may

require a software update to support WPA/WPA2 .

I am having difficulty setting up WPa security on my Router .

1 . Log in to your Router by visiting

http://router/

with your web browser .

Click on the “Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the

screen . You will be asked to enter your password . If you have never

set a password, leave the “Password” field blank and click “Submit” .

2 . Click “Wireless” in the left-hand menu . Then

click “Security” just below that .

3 . Select the “WPA/WPA2” option .

4 . Enter a password . This can be from 8–63 characters of your choice,

including spaces and punctuation, OR a 64-digit hexadecimal

number (using only the numbers 0–9 and letters A–F) .

5 . Click “Apply Changes” to finish . Your wireless

connection is now encrypted . Each computer using your

wireless network will need to use the new key .

note: If you are configuring the Router over a wireless

connection, you will have to re-connect to the

Router after changing any security settings .

note: Some older networking hardware supports

only WEP encryption . If your older computers cannot

connect to your network, try 128-bit or 64-bit WEP, or

seek software updates from their manufacturers .
