Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode
and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is
the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-Enterprise
(RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where an external
radius server distributes the network key to the clients automatically . Your
Router supports WPA2-Personal (PSK).
1.
After you've set up your Router, go to the "Security" page under "Wireless"
and select "WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)" from the "Security Mode" drop-
down menu .
2.
For "Authentication", select "WPA-PSK", "WPA2-PSK", or "WPA-PSK +
WPA2-PSK". This setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients
that you set up. "WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK" mode will allow the Router to
support clients running either WPA or WPA2 security .
3.
"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 .
