How to Configure WPA-PSK Wireless Security

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also required. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with service pack 3 do include WPA support. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.

To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:

1.Click the Security Settings link in the Setup section of the main menu and select WPA-PSK for the Security Type.
