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-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.
Setting WPA-PSK
1.
From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no
server)”.
2.
For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting will
have to be identical on the clients that you set up.
3.
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 39 characters
and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be
used on all of the clients that you set up.
4.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.
