4. Security Settings: Select WPA2-Personal (AES-CCMP) to provide this level of

security in the small network or home environment. It uses a password, also called a

pre-shared key (PSK). The longer the password, the stronger the security of the

wireless network.

AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is a

newer method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the

IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than

TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data

protection is important.

If your Wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal, then you

should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The

same password entered into the access point needs to be used on this

computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.

NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.

Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating

system. You may require additional software or hardware as well as wireless

LAN infrastructure support. Contact your computer manufacturer for details.

5. Password: Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase

(length is between eight and 63 characters). Verify that the network key used

matches the wireless access point key.
