How to Configure WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Wireless Security
To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:
Note:
Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also
required. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include WPA
support. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support
WPA. For instructions on configuring wireless computers or PDAs (Personal
Digital Assistants) for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the
product you are using.

1.
Click
Wireless Settings
in the Setup section of the main menu and select one of the WPA-
PSK or WPA2-PSK options for the Security Type. The third option (
WPA/WPA2-PSK
is the
most flexible, since it allows clients using either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
2.
In the Security Encryption section, select an encryption method. You have a choice between
TKIP
,
AES
, and
AUTO
. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) scrambles the encryption
keys using a hashing algorithm and uses integrity checking to ensure that the keys are not
tampered with. TKIP was introduced with WPA-PSK. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
was adopted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology on May 26, 2002, is part of
the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is the default encryption method for WPA2-PSK. The AUTO
setting allows the wireless router to connect to wireless clients using either the TKIP or AES
encryption method.
