•
WPA-PSK

encryption type and a pre-shared key
passphrase.
•

. This setting provides the AES
encryption type and a pre-shared key
passphrase.
2.
Depending on the WPA settings that you select,
enter the required information.
For WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, enter the
pre-shared key, which is a passphrase between 8 and 63 characters. This product comes

Configure your wireless computers with the same WPA2 or WPA settings as your gateway
so that you will be able to connect.
WEP Security
Note:
By default, the gateway is set up to work with WPA and WPA2
wireless security, both of which are newer than WEP. Typically, the
only reason you might need to set up WEP would be to allow access
to older wireless computers or devices that cannot support WPA.
