Safeguarding Your Network

Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) data encryption 
provides extremely strong data security, very effectively blocking eavesdropping. Because WPA 
and WPA2 are relatively new standards, older wireless adapters and devices might not support 
them. Check whether newer drivers are available from the manufacturer. Also, you might be able 
to use the Push 'N' Connect feature to configure this type of security if it is supported by your 
wireless clients. See 

WPA–Pre-Shared Key does perform authentication. WPA-PSK uses TKIP (Temporal Key 
Integrity Protocol) data encryption, and WPA2-PSK uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 
data encryption. Both methods dynamically change the encryption keys making them nearly 
impossible to circumvent.

Mixed mode allows clients using either WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES). This provides 
the most reliable security, and is easiest to implement, but it might not be compatible with older 
adapters.

To configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK:

1. Select Wireless Settings under Setup in the main menu. The Wireless Settings screen 

displays.

2. Select one of the WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK options for the security type. The third option 

(WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WP2-PSK [AES]) is the most flexible, since it allows clients using 
either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. 

3. In the Passphrase field, enter a word or group of 8–63 printable characters. The passphrase is 

case-sensitive.

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also 

required. Windows XP with Service Pack 2 does 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.
