Wireless Security

Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. If you try to

connect to a network with wireless security the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that

network you must set up the WN311B with exactly the same kind of wireless security settings. The

WN311B supports the following types of wireless security:

• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK)

• Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)

• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

For more information about wireless security, see the wireless reference document at:

http://documentation.netgear.com/reference/enu/wireless/index.htm

In addition to the wireless security features, networks should use LAN network security features

such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in the network.

Using Wireless Security Features

You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. Or, you can use WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi

Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) encryption. For more information about wireless security, see

the Web link to “Wireless Communications:” in Appendix B.

In addition to wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN network

security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in your

network.

Note: The channel number differs depending on the country. The connection speed

automatically defaults to the highest speed.
