10. After a few seconds the following message is displayed:
The access point is already configured. Do you want to reconfigure it?
If you do not want to reconfigure the access point, select No. The software joins the network, makes
the connection, and creates a profile. It then exits and this procedure is completed. If you want to
reconfigure the access point, select Yes.
11. The next window is displayed. The first field shows the name of the access point. This is by default
the Network Name (SSID). In this example we have reset it to MyWPS. You can name it whatever
you want.
12. In the Security Type field, select the security type you want.
❍ WPA* Personal requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point
and clients. This PSK authenticates a password or identifying code, on both the client station
and the access point. An authentication server is not needed.
❍ WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer
wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their WiFi
networks. Here we have selected WPA2 Personal security. You can use Intel® PROSet/Wireless
WiFi Connection Utility profiles to obtain the WiFi network name (SSID) and WPA2-Personal
pass phrase to use for a legacy device.
13. The third field is the Password (Key). The password shown is randomly generated or pre-
configured, you can change it to whatever password you want. However you should use a robust key
for improved security. It must have between 8 and 63 characters. When you have completed this
step, click Next.
The following windows show the configuration of the access point and the registrar.
