NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 Reference Manual - Data Encryption. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting selected (see Table 3-1); otherwise, the default is None. The data encryption settings are explained in the following table: 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. Note: WEP and TKIP provide only legacy rates of operation. So, AES is the recommended solution to use the 802.11n rates and speed. Use of passphrases and keys are explained in the following section: - Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click Generate Keys. 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. - Preshared Key Passphrase. 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. 3-4 Wireless Security Settings v1.0, September 2008
