U.S. Robotics recommends that you treat your WPA pass phrase like a password and use a combination of alphanumeric characters that is not easy to guess (such as “5Rock2Fish9Sand” or “20Dogs933Trot”).
Please note that you have disabled encryption on the router and your wireless network will be insecure. Unauthorized wireless devices may be able to connect to your network, use your Internet connection, and access your computers. You can enable encryption later on the router’s Security page.
You will need to enter these values when you configure a wireless client. After setup is complete, these values will be displayed on the router’s Status page, and you can write them down or print them.
