USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK)
mode and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal
(PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-
Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where
an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients
automatically. Your Router supports WPA2-Personal (PSK).
1. After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under
“Wireless” and select “WPA-PSK(no server)” 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” will auto-fill depending on the
authentication type above. 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.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work
with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper connection to the
Router.
