NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 Reference Manual Data Encryption Select the data encryption that you want to use. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting above (otherwise, the default is None). The Data Encryption settings are explained in the table below: None 64 bits WEP 128 bits WEP 152 bits WEP TKIP AES TKIP + AES Data Encryption Settings No encryption is used. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption. Proprietary mode that only works with other wireless devices that support this mode. This is the standard encryption method used with WPA. This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. Some clients may support AES with WPA, but this is not supported by this Access Point. This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES. The Passphrases and Keys are explained below: • Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the other wireless stations. • Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data. • WPA Passphrase (Network Key). If using WPA-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase (network key). The network key must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. Wireless Client Security Separation If enabled, the associated wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other. This feature is used for hotspots and other public access situations. The default is Disabled. Configuring Security 2-5 v1.0, July 2008
