If you know that all your devices support the more secure WPA2 you can enable WPA2 only (or
WPA2-PSK if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key) instead of WPA and WPA2.
7 In the WPA Pre-Shared Key text box (only if you selected an option requiring a Pre-Shared Key),
enter a passphrase of your choice (a minimum of 8 characters). Write down this passphrase and

d Select ZOOM (or the SSID you created).

device or a button on a page of the device’s wireless network configuration menus.

Windows 7 (SP1) Service Pack 1 or the latest updates, or Windows Vista SP2
