Authentication Method—Pre-Shared Key
If you select
Pre-Shared key
as the authentication method for WPA, the following screen will appear. Configuring
Pre-Shared Key in the Router allows devices that know the pre-shared key to connect to the Router.
NOTE:
A WPA pre-shared key is treated as either a string of text (ASCII) characters or a set of
hexadecimal (Hex) characters. The key can be either 8 to 63 text (ASCII) characters or 64 hexadecimal
(Hex) characters. The only allowable hexadecimal characters are: 0-9 and A-F.
To configure the WPA Pre-Shared Key, do the following:
1.
Select the string type (ASCII or HEX) in the
Pre-Shared Key
drop-down list.
2.
Enter the desired pre-shared key values in the field provided.
3.
Select the desired option from the
Encryptoin Algorithm
drop-down list.
•
TKIP: Select this option to enable the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol for data encryption.
•
AES: Select this option to enable the Advanced Encryption Standard for data encryption.
•
TKIP and AES: Select this option to enable the Router to accept TKIP and AES encryption.
4.
Enter the desired Group Key Update Interval, and confirm that the adjacent box contains a check mark. (By
factory default, Group Key Interval is enabled for 900 seconds.)

to save the wireless settings in the Router.
