Wireless Security
Many networks use wireless security. The first time you join a network that uses wireless
security, you must either know its security settings, or use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) for a
WPS-compatible wireless network. The main types of wireless security are:
• 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.
Setting Up WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK Wireless Security
1. Use the icon to open the Smart Wizard. The Settings tab displays:
2. In the Profile field, select the profile, or type in a profile name.
3. In the Network Name (SSID) field select the network, or enter the SSID.
4. In the Security section, select the WPA2 or WPA setting for the wireless network that you
want to join and enter the passphrase.
5. Click the Save Profile button. All the configuration settings are saved in this profile.
6. Click Apply, and then click Close to exit the Smart Wizard.
