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/
with your web browser.
Click on the “Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the
screen. You will be asked to enter your password. If you have never
set a password, leave the “Password” field blank and click “Submit”.
2 . Click “Wireless” in the left-hand menu. Then
click “Security” just below that.
3 . Select the “WPA/WPA2” option.
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 “Apply Changes” 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.
