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
