Enter the pre-shared key in the Passphrase field. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. The Passphrase must be 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256 Bit key used for encryption is generated from this passphrase.

Configuring WPA2-PSK

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA2. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the

client software that supports WPA2. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA2. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WP2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.

To configure WPA2-PSK:

1.Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1, with the default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.

2.Select Network Adminisration > Wireless Settings. The Wireless Settings Screen will display.
