How to Configure WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

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 WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the product you are using.

To configure WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, follow these steps:

1.Click Wireless Settings in the Setup section of the main menu.

2.The WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WP2-PSK [AES] is the most flexible, since it allows clients using either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
