[. . . ] 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602 User's Guide Introduction Thank you for purchasing the NETGEAR WG602 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point. the NETGEAR WG602 Wireless Access Point connects to all existing 802. 11b wireless networks and supports new clients based on the forthcoming ultra-fast 802. You can refer to the Support information card for the telephone number of customer support in your area. [. . . ] To setup your advanced wireless LAN settings, complete the following: 1. Choose the Wireless Settings option from the Access Point Advances menu on the WG602 Web Server home page. Note: Be sure to make the same configuration changes on the other wireless adapters in your network. The packet size that is used to determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value. Default: 2346 A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly longer range. Default: Long The Delivery Traffic Indication Message specifies the data beacon rate between 1 and 16384. To set authentication for WG602 Wireless Access Point, select the Open System or Shared Key Authentication Type by selecting the radio button. 11b/g, all four keys must have the same encryption level — 64-bit or 128-bit. All devices in the network must have the same key values in for the selected encryption key. The encryption key selected as the default determines the encryption level at which the access point is transmitting. For 64-bits encryption: Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (e. For 128-bits encryption: Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (e. When you are done, click the Apply button and then the Reboot button for the changes to take effect. DTIM 3 • • Protecting Your Wireless Network Security Configuration To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the Security Settings screen of the Access Point Setup offers use of an authentication protocol as well as data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). For a step-by-step treatment of security setup, see Enabling Basic Wireless Access Security Features on page 18. The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes wireless links vulnerable to information theft. This chapter describes how to use the basic security features of the WG602 Wireless Access Point to protect your network. Although your network traffic may already be encrypted, the security steps described here are easy to perform.
