5.1.2 Configuring WPA-PSK Encryption

Procedure

Continuing from “ Configuring the wireless encryption”:

1 Select Use WPA-PSK Encryption.

2 In 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).

3 In 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.

4 Click Apply.

5 Configure 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
