Reference Manual for the NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point • Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. Installing the WG102 Access Point Before installing the NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point, you should make sure that your Ethernet network is up and working. You will be connecting the access point to the Ethernet network so that computers with 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters will be able to communicate with computers on the Ethernet network. In order for this to work correctly, verify that you have met all of the system requirements, shown on page 2-4. 1 SET UP THE WG102 ACCESS POINT Tip: Before mounting the WG102 in a high location, first set up and test the WG102 to verify wireless network connectivity. a.
