How to set up WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access is an interoperable security enhancement that strongly 
increases the level of data protection and access control for existing and future 
wireless LAN systems. It is derived from and will be forward-compatible with the 
upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA employs a combination of several 
technologies to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless networks, 
including TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and 802.1x for 
authenticated key management. WPA provides a simple operating mode that uses 
just a pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared Key mode uses a 
common password for user authentication that is manually entered on the access 
point and all wireless clients on the network. Manual Pre-Shared Key supports up to 
64 characters. 

To use the WPA function, take the following steps:

Select WPA-PSK from the Authentication Type drop-down menu.

Type in the Shared Secret Key (PSK).

Click Apply changes to allow the settings to take effect.

If there is no authentication server on your network, you can issue the Pre-Shared 
Key to your SpeedTouch™121g. Be sure to use the same key for the wireless access 
point and your SpeedTouch™121g.

Advanced

The Advanced sub-tab allows you to configure advanced power and wireless 
performance parameters of the SpeedTouch™121g
