USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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-Personal (PSK), which uses what is known
as a pre-shared key (PSK) as the security key. A pre-shared key is
basically a password that is between eight and 63 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/WPA-Personal (PSK)”.
2. Enter your pre-shared key. 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 clients that you set up.
3. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients
to match these settings.
