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/” or

“http://192.168.2.1” with your web browser. Click “Security” under

the WiFi heading. You should now be on the Security page.

2 . Under Security Mode, select WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).

3 . Select “WPA/WPA2” from the drop-down menu

under the Authentication heading.

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 “Save” 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.
