Reference Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602v3 Understanding Wireless Security Options To configure the wireless security options of your wireless access point, click the Security Settings link in the Setup section of the main menu of the browser interface. The Security Settings page appears, as shown below. Figure 3-10: Security Settings menu The list below identifies the various basic wireless security options. A full explanation of these standards is available in Appendix B, "Wireless Networking Basics". • Network Authentication: Specifies the Authentication type used. The default is Open System. Select the desired option: - Open System - If selected, you have the option of using WEP encryption, or no encryption. This is the default. - Shared Key - If selected, you must use WEP; at least one shared key must be entered. - WPA-PSK - If selected, you must use TKIP encryption. Enter the WPA passphrase (Network key). - WPA2-PSK - WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption. Enter the WPA passphrase (Network key). - WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with AES) or WPA2 (with TKIP). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES. The WPA passphrase (Network key) must also be entered. Note: All options are available if using Access Point mode. In other modes (e.g. Repeater or Bridge) some options may be unavailable.
