How to set up WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access is an interoperable security enhancement that strongly
increases the level of data protection and access control for existing and future
wireless LAN systems. It is derived from and will be forward-compatible with the
upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA employs a combination of several
technologies to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless networks,
including TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and 802.1x for
authenticated key management. WPA provides a simple operating mode that uses
just a pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared Key mode uses a
common password for user authentication that is manually entered on the access
point and all wireless clients on the network. Manual Pre-Shared Key supports up to
64 characters.
To use the WPA function, take the following steps:
1
Select
WPA-PSK
from the
Authentication Type
drop-down menu.
2
Type in the Shared Secret Key (PSK).
3
Click
Apply changes
to allow the settings to take effect.
If there is no authentication server on your network, you can issue the Pre-Shared
Key to your SpeedTouch™120g. Be sure to use the same key for the wireless access
point and your SpeedTouch™120g.
