How to Configure WPA-PSK/WPA2-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.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA2. Furthermore, client software is required on the
client. Make sure your client card supports WPA2. Consult the product document for your wireless
adapter and WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.
To configure WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, follow these steps:

new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired PC to make any further
changes.
