Configure WPA-Personal (Bridge Mode)
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless access point before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the
added overhead.

on the left side.
2. Next to
Security Mode in the Wireless Security Mode section
, select
WPA-Personal.
3. Next to

, enter a key in the Passphrase field. The key is entered as a passphrase in ASCII format at
both ends of the wireless connection. The passphrase must be between 8-63 characters.
