To configure a WiFi network profile with WPA-Personal network authentication and TKIP data
encryption:
1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network in
the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.
2. Click Profiles to access the Profiles list.
3. Click Properties to open the WiFi Profile Properties General Settings. The Profile
name and WiFi Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be
selected as the Operating Mode.
4. Click Next to open the Security Settings.
5. Select Personal Security.
6. Security Settings: Select WPA-Personal (TKIP) to provide security to a small
business network or home environment. A password, called a pre-shared key (PSK), is
used. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network.
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 longer the
password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. The same password
entered in 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.
7. Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase with eight to
63 characters. Verify that the network key matches the password in the wireless
access point.
8. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.

(AES-CCMP) Security Settings
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA*) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of
data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1X
authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. For a home
user or small business, WPA-Personal uses either Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter
CBC-MAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES
security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and
troubleshooting.
