NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602v3 Reference Manual

Installation and Configuration 2-13

v1.0, August 2006

• Use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) data encryption

provides data security. WPA-PSK will block eavesdropping. Because this is a new standard,

wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. However, WPA/WPA2 is not

available in bridge mode (see

“Configuring WPA-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-17,

“Configuring WPA2-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-18 or “Configuring WPA-PSK/

WPA2-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-18).

Configuring Wireless Security

To configure the wireless security options of your wireless access point:

1. Click Security Settings under Setup on the main menu of the browser interface. The Security

Settings screen will appear.

2. From the Security Type pull-down window, select the security WEP/WPA Security Type you

want to employ.

• WEP – If selected, choose the appropriate Authentication Type from the pull-down

menu. The default is Mix (see

“Configuring WEP Wireless Security” on page 2-16 for

complete configuration details).

– Mix – If selected, a client can connect using either “Open” or “Shared” authentication

type. (Not available in Client Mode.)

– Open System – If selected, you have the option of using WEP encryption, or no

encryption. This is the default.

– Shared Key – If selected, you must use WEP; at least one shared key must be entered.

• WPA-PSK – If selected, you must use TKIP encryption and a WPA passphrase (Network

key) See

“Configuring WPA-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-17 for complete

configuration details.
