3G Broadband Wireless Router MBR624GU User Manual Table 2-1. Wireless Settings (continued) Settings Wireless Access Enable Wireless Access Point Point Allow Broadcast Name (SSID) Wireless Isolation Wireless Station Turn Access Control On Access List Security Options Description Selected by default, this setting enables the wireless radio, which allows the router to work as a wireless access point. Turning off the wireless radio can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting. Selected by default, the router broadcasts its SSID, allowing wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the correct SSID. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices with the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network discovery feature of products such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed to equipment like wireless sniffers. For this reason NETGEAR recommends that you also enable wireless security. This feature is disabled by default. If it is enabled, wireless stations cannot communicate with each other or with stations on the wired network. Access control is disabled by default so that any computer configured with the correct SSID can connect. See "Restricting Access by MAC Address". • Disabled. You can use this setting to establish wireless connectivity before implementing wireless security. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you implement wireless security. • WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Use encryption keys and data encryption for data security. You can select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See "Configuring WEP". • WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key). Allow only computers configured with WPA to connect to the router. See "Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2". • WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access with 2 Pre-Shared Keys). Allow only computers configured with WPA2 to connect to the router. See "Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2". • WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK. Allow computers configured with either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security to connect to the router. See "Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2". • The WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1, and WPA-802.1x +WPA2-802.1 options utilize user authentication implemented using IEE 802.1x and Radius servers. See "Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2". 2-6 Wireless Network Configuration v1.1, March 2009
