Setting WPA Security
Note:
To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be
equipped with software that supports WPA. At the time this User
Manual was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for
free download. This patch works only with Windows XP.
Your Modem Router supports WPA-PSK (no server). WPA-PSK uses
what is known as a pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared
key is basically a password that is between eight and 39 characters
long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each
client uses the same key to access the network. Typically this is the
mode that will be used in a home environment.
