Chapter 6 Advanced Setup

“PSK String” is for home network security. To set up a PSK (Pre-Shared Key), click in the circle next to PSK String, then enter at least eight alphanumeric characters in the text box. All wireless-enabled devices must support WPA and know the PSK to join the network.

PImportant: Wireless networking devices use public radio chan- nels to transmit voice and data communications. Although WEP is the standard security technology used today and offers some degree of security, Qwest cannot guarantee the security, privacy, or confidentiality of any transmissions made via such devices, and Qwest makes no assurances or warranties relating to their use by you. You are responsible for all use of your Qwest DSL ser- vice, regardless of the source of a transmission, whether by you or an authorized third party, over your Qwest DSL service.
