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 (no server) . 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 .
Setting WPA-PSK
1.
From the "security mode" drop-down menu, select "WPA-PsK (no
server)" .
2.
For "encryption technique", select "tKiP" or "Aes" . this setting will
have to be identical on the clients that you set up .
3.
enter your pre-shared key . this can be from eight to 39 characters
and can be letters, numbers, or symbols . this same key must be
used on all of the clients that you set up .
4.
Click "Apply Changes" to finish . You must now set all clients to
match these settings .
