Wireless Security Overview
Wireless technology is evolving rapidly to accommodate the need for stronger security. The
following security schemes are supported in Netgear products:
•WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy is an existing, widely implemented and supported, data encryption
protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless nodes on the network are configured with
a static 64-bit or 128-bit Shared Key for data encryption but authentication is optional.
•WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a new specification of standards-based, interoperable
security enhancements that increase the level of data protection and access control for wireless
networks. WPA requires authentication and features strong data encryption that includes
dynamic key generation. WPA uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) via WPA
enables wireless access points using a modified version of the 802.1x protocols to access
RADIUS and certificate servers which enable various authentication schemes such as
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Protected EAP (PEAP).
•WPA-PSK
WPA-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) performs authentication and encryption with a only a
wireless access point based on a preshared key without needing to access RADIUS or
certificate servers via the 802.1x protocols.
