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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work with
WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper connection to the Router.

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 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.
