Configuring WPA-PSK Encryption Security

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is wireless security with far greater protection than WEP.

WPS-PSK (pre-shared key) uses encryption of a shared key as the starting point. WPA has a

significant advantages over WEP — an encryption key differing in every packet. It is extremely

difficult for hackers to read messages even if they have intercepted the data.

To enable WPA-PSK Encryption Security:

1. Click the Wireless Settings a or g link in the main menu of the WGU624 wireless router.

2. Select WPA-PSK.

For the Cipher Type, select AES or TKIP.

4. Enter a Passphrase. The Passphrase can be between 8 and 63 characters. The default

Passphrase is NETGEAR-ULTRA-G.

5. The default for the Key Update time is 0, which is unlimited. If you want to limit the key

Update period, select a value between 15 and 1800 seconds.

6. Click Apply.
