How to Configure WPA-PSK

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring WPA settings.

To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:

1.Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.230 with the default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.

2.Click the WEP/WPA Settings link in the main menu of the WAG302.
