USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)

Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode�

Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home

environment� Please refer to the User Manual for more information about

wireless security and different types of wireless security�

1. After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under

“Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the

“Security Mode” drop-down menu�

2. For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or “WPA-

PSK + WPA2-PSK”� This setting will have to be identical on the

wireless clients that you set up� “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK” mode

will allow the Router to support clients running either WPA or WPA2

security�

3. For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or “TKIP+AES”�

This setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients that you

set up�

4. Enter your pre-shared key (PSK)� This can be from eight to 63

characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols� This same

key must be used on all of the wireless clients that you set up� For

example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family network

key”� Click “Apply Changes” to finish� You must now set all wireless

clients to match these settings�

IMPORTANT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated

to work with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper

connection to the Router�
