How to Configure WPA-PSK Wireless Security
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the
client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that
supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA settings.
To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:
1. Click the Security Settings link in the Setup section of the main menu and select WPA-PSK for
the Security Type.
