This document will detail how to setup WPA-PSK Encryption on the DIR-300.

WPA-PSK is now considered to be the standard with encrypting a wireless network, it is far

more secure then WEP and is therefore recommended.

It is recommended to change the Wireless Network Name (SSID) to a name of your liking,

in this example it is called "home_network". Enable Auto Channel Selection can be

enabled however it is not mandatory. The Wireless Channel can be changed, Channel's 1,

6 and 11 are non overlapping and are recommended.

Under the WIRELESS SECURITY MODE heading select from the dropdown "Enable

WPA Only Wireless Security (enhanced)".

Under the WPA ONLY heading the Cipher Type and PSK/EAP settings are recommended

on their default setting. The Network Key is where you type in a password for your

Wireless, it can be alphanumeric and a minimum of 8 characters. The Network Key is

considered to be your Wireless Password. REMEMBER IT!

5. Now proceed to click on the Save Settings button.

6. WPA-PSK Encryption is now configured.

IMPORTANT:

If you decide to change your Wireless Encryption password, you will need to remove

your existing Wireless Profile or edit it to reflect the new changes.

applied. To apply this firmware please refer to the Technical Support Knowledge
