NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 Reference Manual a. All options are available if using Access Point mode. In bridge modes some options may be unavailable. • Data Encryption. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting selected (see Table 3-1 above); otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption settings are explained in the table below: Table 3-2. Data Encryption Settings Data Encryption Type Description None 64 bits WEP 128 bits WEP 152 bits WEP TKIP AES TKIP + AES No encryption is used. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption. Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that support this mode. This is the standard encryption method used with WPA and WPA2. This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. 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. • Use of 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 Preshared Key Passphrase. If using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase (network key). The network key must be from 8 to 64 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 intended for hotspots and other public access situations.) The default is Disabled. 3-4 v1.0, March 2010
