Settings for WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK Setting Descriptions Data Encryption TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method used with WPA. You can also use TKIP with WPA2. AES Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. If you want to use the 11n rates and speed, NETGEAR recommends WPA2 authentication with AES encryption. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2. Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the WN203 wireless access point does not support WPA with AES. TKIP + AES TKIP + AES supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption method. Passphrase Enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). The default passphrase is sharedsecret. You can display the actual passphrase by selecting the Show Passphrase in Clear Text Yes radio button.

Data Encryption
TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method
used with WPA. You can also use TKIP with WPA2.
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used
with WPA2.
TKIP + AES
TKIP + AES supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For
unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
clients use AES.
For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data
encryption method.
Passphrase
Enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters
(inclusive). The default passphrase is sharedsecret.
You can display the actual passphrase by selecting the Show Passphrase in Clear Text
Yes
radio button.
Show Passphrase
in Clear Text
Select the
Yes
radio button to display the actual passphrase in the Passphrase field. The
default setting is No.
Note:
TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. If you want to
use the 11n rates and speed, NETGEAR recommends WPA2 authentication
with AES encryption.
Note:
Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the
WN203 wireless access point does not support WPA with AES.
