How to Configure WPA-PSK Wireless Security
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

you are using.
To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:
1.
Click
Security Settings
in the Setup section of the main menu and select WPA-PSK for the
Security Type.
