5.1.2 Configuring WPA-PSK Encryption
Procedure
Continuing from “ Configuring the wireless encryption”:
1Select Use WPA-PSK Encryption.
2In the WPA-PSK Encryption Key box, type a pass phrase (also known as Pre-shared key) of your choice.
The pass phrase must consist of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or 64 hexadecimal characters
(characters from 0 to 9 and from A to F).
3In the WPA-PSK Version list, click the WPA-version of your choice. Following options are available:
WPA2:
WPA2 is the most secure version, but not all wireless clients already support it. Before you select this
version, make sure all of your wireless clients support it.
WPA+WPA2:
If not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or you are not sure if they support WPA2, we
recommend you to choose WPA+WPA2. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the
others will use WPA.
WPA:
If none of your wireless clients support WPA2 choose this option.
4Click Apply.
5Configure your wireless client(s) with the same settings.
To use WPA2 on Windows XP SP2 you first have to install Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)/
Wireless Provisioning Services Information Element (WPS IE) update. You can find this update
