Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2

Both WPA and WPA2 provide strong data security. WPA with TKIP is a software
implementation that can be used on Windows systems with Service Pack 2 or later; WPA2
with AES is a hardware implementation; see your device documentation before implementing
it. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter for instructions for configuring
WPA settings.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security
settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. If this
happens, reconfigure your wireless computer to match the new
settings, or access the router from a wired computer to make further
changes.
