ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 WAC730 d. The profile table shows four security profiles. Choose a security profile to edit by selecting the corresponding radio button to the left of the profile. e. Click Edit to configure the selected security profile settings. The Edit Security Profile page displays for the selected security profile. (The following figure contains an example.) f. Specify the settings as explained in the following table: Setting Description Profile Definition Profile Name Enter a profile name that is easy to remember. The default names for the four security profiles are NETGEAR-WDS-1, NETGEAR-WDS-2, NETGEAR-WDS-3, and NETGEAR-WDS-4. Remote MAC Address Enter the MAC address of the remote wireless access point (the MAC address of AP2 or AP 3 on LAN Segment 1 in Figure 6 on page 92). Authentication Settings Network Authentication From the Network Authentication menu, select Open System, WPA-PSK, or and WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data Encryption Data Encryption menu provides, and whether the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field displays. WPA-PSK TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption menu. In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). WPA2-PSK AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption menu. In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). Note: NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and speed. g. Click Apply to save your security profile settings. The Bridging page displays again. h. Repeat Step b through Step g for any other security profile that you want to edit. For example, first configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-1 with the MAC address of AP2, and then configure security profile NETGEAR-WDS-2 with the MAC address of AP3 (see Figure 6 on page 92). 2. Activate the wireless access point (AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Figure 6 on page 92) as a point-to-multipoint bridge (that is, it is the master in the wireless network): a. On the Bridging page, select the Enable Wireless Bridging check box. Advanced Configuration 93
