Configuring WPA-PSK Wireless Security
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is also required.
Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include WPA support. Nevertheless, the
wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. For instructions on configuring
wireless computers or PDAs for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the product
you are using.
To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:
1. Click Wireless Settings in the main menu.
2. Select WPA-PSK for the Security Type. The WPA-PSK security options display.

3. Enter a word or group of 8-63 printable characters in the Passphrase box.
4. Enter the Key Lifetime. This setting determines how often the encryption key is changed.
Shorter periods provide greater security, but can affect performance. The default is 60
minutes.
5. Click Apply to save your settings.
