II. NETWORK AUTHENTICATION 

 

 

Step 3:  Select Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK network 

authentication mode from the Manual Setup AP section of the Wireless Security 

screen. The example below shows WPA2-PSK mode. 

 

 

Step 4:  For the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) modes, enter a WPA Pre-Shared Key.    You 

will see the following dialog box if the Key is too short or too long. 

 

 

 

 

Step 5:  Click the Save/Apply button at the bottom of the screen. 

IIIa.  PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION 

The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration 

method.    The WPS button on the rear panel of the router can be used for this 

purpose or the Web User Interface (WUI) can be used exclusively.     

 

The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below.    It is 

assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as 

the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your WLAN.    In addition, the wireless client must 

also be configured correctly and turned on, with WPS function enabled. 

 
NOTE:  The wireless AP on the router searches for 2 minutes.    If the router stops 

searching before you complete Step 7, return to Step 6.
