Configure WPA-PSK

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.

1.Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Click on Wireless Settings on the left side.

2.Next to Security Mode, select Enable WPA-Personal Security or Enable WPA2-Personal Security.

3.Next to Cipher Mode, select TKIP, AES, or Auto.

4.Next to PSK/EAP, select PSK.

5.Next to Passphrase, enter a key (passphrase). The key is an alpha- numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. Make sure you enter this key exactly the same on all other wireless clients.

6.Enter the passphrase again next to Confirmed Passphrase.

7.Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK (or WPA2-PSK) on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.
