Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302

Basic Installation and Configuration 3-17

July 2005 v3.0

– WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK: This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP)

or WPA2 (with AES). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES. The WPA passphrase

(Network key) must also be entered.

– WPA2 with Radius: WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients

support WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and configure the Radius Server

Settings Screen.

– WPA and WPA2 with Radius: This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with

TKIP) or WPA2 (with AES). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES, and you must

also configure the Radius Server Settings Screen.

Note: All options are available if using Access Point mode. In other modes (e.g. Repeater or

Bridge) some options may be unavailable.

• Data Encryption: Select the desired option. The available options depend on the Network

Authentication setting above (otherwise, the default is None). The supported options are:

– None: No encryption is used.

– 64 bits WEP: Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.

– 128 bits WEP: Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.

– 152 bits WEP: Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that

support this mode.

– TKIP: This is the standard encryption method used with WPA.

– AES: This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. Some clients may support AES

with WPA, but this is not supported by this Access Point.

– TKIP + AES: This setting allows both WPA and WPA2 to be supported. Broadcast

packets use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and

WPA2 clients use AES.

• Passphrase: To use the passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click

Generate Keys. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the other

wireless stations.

• Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4: If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data

transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to

decrypt received data.

• WPA Passphrase (Network Key): If using WPA-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless

stations must use the same passphrase (network key). The network key must be from 8 to 63

characters in length.

• Wireless Client Security Separation: If enabled, the associated wireless clients will not be

able to communicate with each other. This feature is intended for hotspots and other public

access situations. The default is Disabled.
