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-PSK . WPA-PSK uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the security key . A pre-shared key is basically a password
that is between eight and 39 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 .
setting WPa-PsK
1 . From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK” .
2 . For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES” . This setting will
have to be identical on the clients that you set up .
3 . Enter your pre-shared key . This can be from eight to 39 characters and
can be letters, numbers, or symbols . This same key must be used on
all of the clients that you set up .
4 . Click “Apply Changes” to finish . You must now set all clients to match
these settings .
