Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)

Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK)

mode and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal

(PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while

WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment

where an external radius server distributes the network key to the

clients automatically. Your Router supports WPA2-Personal (PSK).

After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under

“Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the

“Security Mode” drop-down menu.

For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or

“WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK”. This setting will have to be identical

on the wireless clients that you set up. “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK”

mode will allow the Router to support clients running either WPA

or WPA2 security.

“Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or “TKIP+AES”.

This setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients that

you set up.

Enter your pre-shared key (PSK). This can be from eight to 63

characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same

key must be used on all of the wireless clients that you set up.

For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family

network key”. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set

all wireless clients to match these settings.
