Configuring WPA(2)-PSK Encryption

Procedure
Continuing from " Configuring the wireless encryption" on page
1 In the Select Security list, select:
WPA2-PSK:
WPA2-PSK is the most secure version, but not all wireless clients already support it. Before you select
this version, make sure that all of your wireless clients support it.
WPA-PSK-AUTO:
If not all of your wireless clients support WPA2-PSK or you are not sure if they support WPA2-PSK, we
recommend you to choose WPA-PSK-AUTO. Wireless clients that support WPA2-PSK will use WPA2-
PSK, the others will use WPA-PSK.
WPA-PSK:
If none of your wireless clients support WPA2-PSK choose this option.
To use WPA2-PSK on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) you first have to install Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2 (WPA2)/Wireless Provisioning Services Information Element (WPS IE) update or install
SP3 on your Windows XP.
You can find the WPS IE update on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021.
2 In the Pre-Shared Key box, type a pass phrase (also known as Pre-shared key) of your choice. The key
must consist of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or 64 hexadecimal characters (characters from 0 to 9 and
from A to F).
3 Click Apply.
4 The THOMSON TG185n prompts you that the configuration was successful.
5 Configure your wireless client(s) with the same settings.
