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-PSK� 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 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-PSK”�
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 63 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�
