Configure WPA-Personal

It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless access point 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 access point (192.168.0.50). Click on Wireless Settings

on the left side.

2.Next to Security Mode, select Enable

WPA Wireless Security , Enable

WPA2 Wireless Security, or Enable

WPA2-Auto Wireless Security.

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

Auto.

4.Next to Personal / Enterprise, select Personal.

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 access point with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, or WPA2-Auto-Personal on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the access point.
