WPA Configuration

WPA is a stronger wireless security solution than WEP. It uses a combination of authentication and broadcast/session keys.

•Pre-Shared Key/Passphrase

If there is no authentication server on your SOHO network, you can issue the Pre-Shared Key to the clients that connect to the Wireless Ethernet Bridge. Be sure to use the same key for the Wireless Ethernet Bridge and the connected clients.
