WPA
Activating WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and clicking Next in the Wireless
Settings screen generates the “Wireless WPA Settings” screen.
There are two levels of WPA. The “Group Key Interval,” “Server IP Address,”
“Port,” and “Secret” text boxes, along with the “802.1x” radio button, are enter-
prise network specific, and should only be accessed by an experienced informa-
tion systems professional. See “WEP+802.1x,” above, for more information.
“PSK String” is for home network security. To set up a PSK (Pre-Shared Key),
click in the circle next to PSK String, then enter at least eight alphanumeric
characters in the text box. All wireless-enabled devices must support WPA and
know the PSK to join the network.

Important: Wireless networking devices use public radio chan-
nels to transmit voice and data communications. Although WEP
is the standard security technology used today and offers some
degree of security, Qwest cannot guarantee the security, privacy,
or confidentiality of any transmissions made via such devices,
and Qwest makes no assurances or warranties relating to their
use by you. You are responsible for all use of your Qwest DSL ser-
vice, regardless of the source of a transmission, whether by you
or an authorized third party, over your Qwest DSL service.
