Cisco 877W Router + Wireless WPA

[Kha29096335]

Hi to all.

I have configured the wireless part of my router 877W. Right now i am using WEP only but i want to setup WPA (with pre shared key) for a more secure access. I am a wireless noob and i haven't much knowledge about this configuration process / options.

Please can some one tell me the correct steps to configure a working WPA authenticated wireless lan with a simple WPA-PSK key (not radius)?

I was using Web interface (Wireless security Express option of the Wireless WEB application) for the confguration not IOS CLI commands.

Thank you very much.

Set the Security|encryption | Cipher for AES + TKIP

Set Security | SSID Manager | Methods for "Open" (only)

Check the box for Key Management for "mandatory"

Check the box for WPA

Enter a Key

As with WEP, the keys on the AP and the keys on the clients must match exactly (case, spaces, everything).

Good Luck

Scott
