Setup WPA

Follow these steps to setup the router for using WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, and WPA Auto Personal.

At the WPA1/2-PSK Setup page,

Step 1:

Specify the key entry type, by selecting either:

Passphrase (Alphanumeric characters)

Hexadecimal

Step 2:

Fill in the pre-shared network key:

If you are using the Passphrase format, your entry can consist of a minimum of 8 alphanumeric characters or a maximum of 63 alphanumeric characters.

Otherwise, when using the Hexadecimal format, your entry MUST consist of 64 hexadecimal characters.

Step 3:

For WPA-Personal

Set the Cipher Type to TKIP.

WPA replaces WEP with a strong encryption technology called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) with Message Integrity Check (MIC).

For WPA2-Personal

Set the Cipher Type to AES.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a stronger symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique. AES is a requirement of WPA2 under the IEEE 802.11i standard.

For WPA-Personal-AUTO

Set the Cipher Type to Auto to allow the router to automatically detect the cipher type to use.
