Authentication Settings
Network Authentication
and
Data Encryption
From the Network Authentication menu, select Open System, WP
A-PSK, or
WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data Encryption
menu provides, and whether the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field
displays.
WPA-PSK TKIP (T
emporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard
encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption menu.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase.
The passphrase length needs to be between
8 and 63 characters (inclusive).
WPA2-PSK AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard
encryption method used with WP
A2-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption menu.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase.
The passphrase length needs to be between
8 and 63 characters (inclusive).
Note: NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication
with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and
speed.
