WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

Note: Before setting up wireless security, verify that your wireless connections are set up and working. See “Setting Up Your Wireless Connections” on page 2-2.

When you are setting up wireless security, these guidelines will help make the process simpler and easier:

Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the router when you are setting up or changing wireless settings. If you are connected wirelessly and you set up the wireless security, you will lose your wireless connection when you apply the change.

Remember to note what your wireless settings are. For help keeping track of them, see “Information to Gather Before Changing the Wireless Settings” on page 2-3.

Wireless Adapter Compatibility

Note: For instructions for configuring wireless computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) for WPA-PSK, see the documentation for the product you are using.

If you want to use WPA or WPA2, first make sure that the computers or devices that will connect to your router are able to use this type of wireless security. Each computer or device will need:

A configuration utility that supports WPA or WPA2 for the wireless adapter.

Client software that supports WPA or WPA2. Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 1 with the WPA patch do include the client software that supports WPA.

The wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA or WPA2.
