TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY
Does the Router support Wireless Protected Access (WPA) security?
The Router ships with WPA/WPA2 security turned on . Windows XP and some
older network hardware may require a software update to support WPA/WPA2 .
I am having difficulty setting up WPA security on my Router .
1 . Log in to your Router by visiting “http://router/” or “http://192 .168 .2 .1” with
your web browser . Click “Security” under the WiFi heading . You should now
be on the Security page .
2 . Under Security Mode, select WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) .
3 . Select “WPA/WPA2” from the drop-down menu under the Authentication heading .
4 . Enter a password . This can be from 8–63 characters of your choice, including
spaces and punctuation, OR a 64-digit hexadecimal number (using only the
numbers 0–9 and letters A–F) .
5 . Click “Save” to finish . Your wireless connection is now encrypted . Each
computer using your wireless network will need to use the new key .
Note: If you are configuring the Router over a wireless connection, you will
have to re-connect to the Router after changing any security settings .
Note: Some older networking hardware supports only WEP encryption .
If your older computers cannot connect to your network, try 128-bit or
64-bit WEP, or seek software updates from their manufacturers .
