Security Options
This information applies to the 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
If you change the WiFi security, select one of the following WiFi security options for the AP’s WiFi network:
•
None. An open WiFi network does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the network. We
recommend that you do not use an open WiFi network but configure WiFi security.
•
WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption mode that is
superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. The WEP option displays only if you select Up to 54 Mbps from
the Mode menu. For information about configuring WEP, see Configure WEP legacy WiFi security on page
39.
•
WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support WPA2 to join the AP’s 2.4 GHz
WiFi network. If you did not change the passphrase, the default passphrase displays. The default passphrase
is sharedseceret. WPA2 provides a secure connection but some older WiFi devices do not detect WPA2
and support only WPA. If your network includes such older devices, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK
[AES] security.
If you change the passphrase, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the AP’s
WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
•
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This option is the default setting and the default WiFi passphrase is
sharedsecret. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the AP’s
2.4 GHz WiFi network. However, WPA-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed
of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
To use this type of security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the AP’s
WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
•
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. This type of security requires that your WiFi network can access a RADIUS server.
For information about configuring WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, see Configure WPA and WPA2 Enterprise WiFi
security on page 41.
Wireless Network (5GHz a/n/ac)
The SSID is the WiFi network name. If you did not change the SSID, the default SSID for the
5 GHz band displays (NETGEAR-11AC).
If you change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field.
