Configuring WAP-Personal Security

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Personal (WAP-Personal) is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption and forward compatible with IEEE 802.11e. WPA- Personal is also known as WAP-PSK.

To enable wireless WPA-Personal security, follow these steps:

STEP 1 Click Wireless > Security.

STEP 2 From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select WAP-Personal.

STEP 3 To enable wireless isolation within the SSID, click Enabled.

STEP 4 Provide the following information:

•WPA Algorithms—WPA offers you two encryption methods, TKIP and AES for data encryption. Select the type of algorithm you want to use, TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP.

•Pre-SharedKey—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.

STEP 5 Click Save.
