Section 4 - Security

Configure WPA-Personal (PSK)

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless

connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.

1..Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (19.168.0.1). Click

on.Setup.and then click.Wireless.Settings on the left side.

. Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal.

. Next to WPA Mode, select Auto, WPA2.Only, or.WPA.Only. Use Auto

if you have wireless clients using both WPA and WPA.

4. Next to Cypher Type, select TKIP.and.AES, TKIP, or AES.

5. Next to Group Key Update Interval, enter the amount of time before

the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed (600

is default).

6. Next to Pre-Shared Key, enter a key (passphrase). The key is entered as a pass-phrase in ASCII format at both ends of the

wireless connection. The pass-phrase must be between 8-6 characters.

7. Click Save.Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until

you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.
