Guest Network Wireless Security Options

A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The

security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices

receive authorization to connect to your network.

This section presents an overview of the security o

ptions and provides guidance on when to

use which option. It is also possible to set up a guest network without wireless security.

NETGEAR does not recommend using no security on a wireless network.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified

seal. This se

al means that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance

(http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed

wireless local area networking.

WPA-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial data encryption keys.

Then it dynamically varies the encryption key

. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is

designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points.

It is superseded by WPA2-PSK.
