How to Configure WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK Security

A high-performance client such as the NETGEAR WN511B must connect to the modem router
using WPA2-PSK to achieve maximum performance. Wireless clients that connect to the modem
router using WPA-PSK run at no more than 802.11g speed. This option allows wireless clients to
use either encryption method.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Furthermore, client software is
required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do
include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter
hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product document for
your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring
WPA settings.
To configure WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK:
1. Log in at the default LAN address of
and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have
set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings below Setup in the main menu of the modem router.
3. Select the WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] radio button. The Wireless Settings
screen expands to include the WPA-PSK.
4. Enter the pre-shared key in the Passphrase field using between 8 and 63 characters.
5. Click Apply to save your settings.
If the wireless network mode is set to g and b, you have the option of selecting WPA-PSK only,
WPA2-PSK only, WPA-802.1x, and WPA2-802.1x. For details about the 802.1x authentication
options, see "How to Configure WPA-802.1x and WPA2-802.1x" on page
