ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 Table 13. WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK Settings Field 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. NETGEAR recommends WPA2 authentication with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and speed. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2. Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the WNDAP360 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 radio button. Show Passphrase Select the Yes radio button to display the actual passphrase in the Passphrase field. The in Clear Text default setting is No. Configure RADIUS Server Settings For authentication, accounting, or both authentication and accounting using RADIUS, you need to configure primary servers and optional secondary servers. These RADIUS server settings can apply to all devices that are connected to the wireless access point.  To configure the RADIUS server settings: 1. Select Configuration > Security > Advanced > Radius Server Settings. The Radius Server Settings screen displays. (The following figure shows some examples.) Wireless Configuration and Security 51

Configure RADIUS Server Settings
For authentication, accounting, or both authentication and accounting using RADIUS, you
need to configure primary servers and optional secondary servers. These RADIUS server
settings can apply to all devices that are connected to the wireless access point.
To configure the RADIUS server settings:
1.
Select
Configuration > Security > Advanced > Radius Server Settings
.
The Radius
Server Settings screen displays. (The following figure shows some examples.)

Data Encryption
TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method
used with WPA. You can also use TKIP with WPA2.
Note:
TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. NETGEAR
recommends WPA2 authentication with AES encryption if you want to use the
11n rates and speed.
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used
with WPA2.
Note:
Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the
WNDAP360 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
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.
