ViewSonic Wireless Router 22
Security Mode: WPA Pre-shared Key
Important Notice: In order to use the WPA correctly, make sure
that your current wireless router’s driver, and Wireless Utility can
support the WPA. The WPA needs 802.1x authentication (when
RADIUS mode is chosen), though the Operating System must also
support 802.1x protocol. For Microsoft’s OS family, only Windows
XP has incorporated this by default. Other operating systems must
install a third-party client software.

click on WPA-Preshared Key.
2 WPA Algorithms: click one of the following options:
• TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). TKIP uses a

hackers.
• AES (Advanced Encryption System) uses a symmetric
128-Bit block data encryption.
3 WPA Shared Key: enter the Pre-Shared Key – between 8 to 63
alpha-numeric characters.
4 Group Key Renewal: enter the time period of renewal. The
