Network
Authentication and
Data Encryption
From the Network Authentication drop-down list, select Op
en System,
WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data
Encryption drop-down list provides, and whether or not the WPA Passphrase
(Network Key) field displays.
Open System Although you can use the bridge communication without any
a
uthentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that
you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the Data
Encryption drop-down list, select one of the following:
• None. No authen
tication and encryption.
• 64
-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit
encryption.
• 128
-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit
encryption.
• 15
2-bit WEP. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using
128+24 bits encryption. This mode functions only with other
wireless station that support this mode.
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 drop-down list.
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 (Advance
d Encryption Standard) is the standard
encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.
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
wi
th AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and
speed.
