Below that is the WPA Shared Key. This is the password you are going to use to access the network. This password is also used when encrypting your private data. Make this a strong password of at least 20 characters. We recommend that you don't use any personal information in this password, it makes guessing your password easier. Don't use any words found in a dictionary, these passwords are easily cracked using dictionary cracking programs. Do use some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in your password. For more on this subject, click the link titled Choosing a strong password.

That's it, just click Apply.

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings
