Make sure your wireless computers are updated

to work with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper

connection to the Router .

setting WPa/WPa2-Personal (PsK)

Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode . Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home

environment . Please refer to the User Manual for more information about wireless security and different types of wireless security .

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 . For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or “TKIP+AES” . This

setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients that you set up .

4 . 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 .
