This security type is a very popular type and is easy to configure. Most often used in SOHO and home
environments, WPA2-PSK is starting to be widely used by enterprise networks.

Press Commit [Button] Saves changes to the device.
Optional
Press Reload [Button]
Reloads the WLAN Settings page. Select this
if you have further configuration options to
change.
Optional
Press Restart [Button]
Restarts the device. After the device as
rebooted, it will attempt to authenticate to the
configured network. As long as the network is
in range, the wireless interface will connect.
If the network is using DHCP, then an IP
address will be assigned to the WLAN interface
and IP connectivity is possible over the WLAN
network.
If the network is using static IP addresses, it
will be necessary to configure the network
interface. See the next step.
Feature Link
Select Network Settings
The wireless interface is now configured.
However, if the WLAN network does not have a
DHCP server available to provide IP address to
the device, it is necessary to assign a static IP
address to the wireless interface.
Selecting Network Settings will allow
configuration of the device with a static IP
address. This is covered in section 19.0.
