Using the Configuration Utility
Security - WPA/WPA2 Passphrase
WPA (passphrase) offers improved data encryption through the
Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol
(TKIP). By using TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), the security keys
change at set intervals, creating a network that is more secure than one that utilizes
WEP encryption alone. Suitable for the home user, WPA Passphrase is a superior form
of security that does not require a RADIUS server in the network.
To enable WPA/WPA2 Passphrase, click the radio button next to
WPA/WPA2
Passphrase
and click the Configure button.
Enter a passphrase into the box as seen above. The passphrase is an alpha-numeric
password between 8 and 63 characters long and can include symbols (!?*&_) and
spaces. This passphrase must be exactly the same on all other wireless devices on
your network. Click the
OK
button to save your settings.
