Procedure

1 Select Use WPA-PSK Encryption.
2 In the WPA-PSK Encryption Key box, type a pass phrase (also known as Pre-shared key) of your choice.
The pass phrase must consist of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or 64 hexadecimal characters
(characters from 0 to 9 and from A to F).
3 In the WPA-PSK Version list, click the WPA-version of your choice. Following options are available:
 WPA2:
WPA2 is the most secure version, but not all wireless clients already support it. Before you select this
version, make sure all of your wireless clients support it.
 WPA+WPA2:
If not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or you are not sure if they support WPA2, we
recommend you to choose WPA+WPA2. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the
others will use WPA.
 WPA:
If none of your wireless clients support WPA2 choose this option.
4 Click Apply.
5 Configure your wireless client(s) with the same settings.
!
To use WPA2 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)you first have to install Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2 (WPA2)/Wireless Provisioning Services Information Element (WPS IE) update or install
SP3.
