Section 4 - Security
Congure WPA-Personal (PSK)
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the
added overhead.
1. Log into the web-based conguration by opening a web browser and
entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Click on Setup
and then click Wireless Settings on the left side and then click the
Manual Wireless Network Setup button.
2. Select Enable WPA/WPA2 Wireless Security (enhanced) from the
Security Mode drop-down menu.
3. Select Auto(TKIP/AES), TKIP, or AES from the Cipher Type drop-down
menu. If you have wireless clients that use both types, use TKIP/AES.
4. Select PSK from the PSK / EAP drop-down menu.
5. Enter a key (passphrase) in the Network Key eld. The key is entered as a pass-phrase in either ASCII or HEX format. If using
ASCII format the pass-phrase must be between 8-63 characters. If using HEX format the pass-phrase must be 64 characters.
The ASCII or HEX pass-phrase must be the same at both ends of the wireless connection.
6. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are conguring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity
until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.
