3. For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or
“TKIP+AES”. 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
Modem Router.
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 Modem Router supports WPA-PSK (no server). 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.
