WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Mixed + Personal (Pre-Shared Key) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good security, with two significant issues:  Either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first security choice in most installation instructions.  In the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a pass phrase is required that, for full security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users are taught to employ. 1. From the Encryption drop-down list, select WPA, WPA2 or WPA2 Mixed setting. 2. Click on the ratio of Personal (Pre-Shared Key). 3. Check the option of TKIP and/or AES in WPA Cipher Suite if your Encryption is WPA: 4. Check the option of TKIP and/or AES in WPA2 Cipher Suite if your Encryption is WPA2: 5. Check the option of TKIP and/or AES in WPA/WPA2 Cipher Suite if your Encryption is WPA2 Mixed: 6. From the Pre-Shared Key Format drop-down list, select Passphrase or Hex (64 characters) setting. 7. Enter the Pre-Shared Key depending on selected Passphrase or Hex (64 characters). 53

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems
to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)
computer networks. WPA is designed to work with all wireless
network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation

will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good
security, with two significant issues:

preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first
security choice in most installation instructions.
In the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes
and small offices, a pass phrase is required that, for full
security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character
passwords users are taught to employ.
