Configuring WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Wireless Security
To configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK:
1. In the Setup section of the main menu, click Wireless Settings
2. Select one of the WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK options for the Security Type. The third option
(WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WP2-PSK [AES]) is the most flexible, since it allows clients using
either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. In the Passphrase box, enter a word or group of 8-63
printable characters. The passphrase is case sensitive.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also
required. Windows XP with Service Pack 2 does include WPA support.
Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
For instructions on configuring wireless computers or PDAs (Personal Digital
Assistants) for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the product you
are using.
