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. This guide will focus on WPA2-Personal (PSK)
usage. Please refer to the User Manual for more information about
wireless security and different types of wireless security.
1. After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under
“Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” 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”, 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.
