Profile Definition Settings of the Edit Security Profile Screen Field Description Profile Name Enter a unique name of the wireless security profile that makes it easy to recognize the profile. The default names are NETGEAR, NETGEAR-1, NETGEAR-2, and so on through NETGEAR-7. You can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Wireless Network Name (SSID) The wireless network name (SSID) for the wireless security profile. The default names depend on the selected radio band: • 802.11b/bg/ng. The default names are NETGEAR_11ng, NETGEAR_11ng-1, NETGEAR_11ng-2, and so on through NETGEAR_11ng-7 for the eighth profile. • 802.11a/na.

Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID) Select the Yes radio button to enable the wireless access point to broadcasts its SSID, allowing wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the wireless access point's SSID. Yes is the default setting. To prevent the SSID from being broadcast, select the No radio button. 5. Specify the settings of the Authentication Settings section of the Edit Security Profile screen as explained in the following table. The wireless access point is set by default as an open system with no authentication. When you configure network authentication, bear in mind the following: • If you are using access point mode (which is the default mode if you did not enable wireless bridging), then all options are available. In other modes such as bridge mode, some options might be unavailable. • Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP, Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3, and Windows Vista do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software is required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings. Wireless Configuration and Security 44
