Select the desired Encryption method. For WPA2-PSK, the only option is AES.

Enter the pre-shared key in the Passphrase field. Enter a word or group of printable characters 
in the Passphrase box. The Passphrase must be 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256 Bit key 
used for encryption is generated from this passphrase.

Shorter periods provide greater security, but adversely affect performance. If desired, you can 
change the default value.

Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA and WPA2. Furthermore, client software is required 
on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software 
that supports WPA and WPA2. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also 
support WPA and WPA2. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA and 
WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA and WPA2 settings.

To configure WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, follow these steps:

 with the default user name of admin
