ProSAFE Single Band 802.11n Wireless Access Point WN203 Setting Description Authentication Settings Network Authentication and Data Encryption From the Network Authentication drop-down menu, select Open System, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data Encryption drop-down menu provides, and whether the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field displays. Open System Although you can use the bridge communication without any authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the Data Encryption drop-down menu, select one of the following: • None. No authentication and encryption. • 64-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit encryption. • 128-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit encryption. • 152-bit WEP. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using 128+24 bit encryption. This mode functions only with other access points that support this mode. To configure WEP: 1. In the passphrase field, enter a passphrase. 2. Click the Generate Key button. The key is generated and placed in the WEP Key field. WPA-PSK WPA2-PSK TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down menu. In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down menu. In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). Note: If you want to use the 11n rates and speed, NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication with AES encryption. Link Test The link test lets you validate the bridge configuration by testing whether an IP address behind the remote access point is reachable. Advanced Configuration 79

Network Authentication
and Data Encryption
From the Network Authentication drop-down menu, select
Open System
,
WPA-PSK
, or
WPA2-PSK
.
Your selection determines the options that the Data Encryption drop-down
menu provides, and whether the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field
displays.
Open System
Although you can use the bridge communication without
any authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends
that you use WEP if you do select an open system. From
the Data Encryption drop-down menu, select one of the
following:
•
None
. No authentication and encryption.
•
64-bit WEP
. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit
encryption.
•
128-bit WEP
. Standard WEP encryption, using
104/128-bit encryption.
•
152-bit WEP
. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using
128+24 bit encryption. This mode functions only with
other access points that support this mode.
To configure WEP:
1.
In the passphrase field, enter a passphrase.
2.
Click the
Generate Key
button.
The key is generated and placed in the WEP Key field.
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 drop-down
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 drop-down
menu.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between
8
and 63 characters (inclusive).
Note:
If you want to use the 11n rates and speed,
NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication with
AES encryption.
Link Test
The link test lets you validate the bridge configuration by testing whether an IP address behind the
remote access point is reachable.
