setting WPa security
Note:
To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be
equipped with software that supports WPA . At the time this User Manual
was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for free
download . This patch works only with Windows XP .
Your Router supports WPA-PSK (no server) . WPA-PSK uses what is
known as a pre-shared key as the security key . A pre-shared key is
basically a password that is between eight and 39 characters long . It
can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters . Each client
uses the same key to access the network . Typically this is the mode that
will be used in a home environment .
