Configuring WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Personal (WPA-Personal) is a security standard

Personal is also known as WPA-PSK. To enable wireless WPA-Personal security,
follow these steps:
Click Wireless > Security.
From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select WPA-Personal.
To enable wireless isolation within the SSID, click Enabled.

for data encryption. Select the type of algorithm you want to use, TKIP or
AES. The default is TKIP.
• Pre-Shared Key—Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8–63 characters.
• Key Renewal— Enter a key renewal timeout period, which instructs the
access point how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is
3600 seconds.
Click Save.
