Configuring WPA Wireless Security Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) provides extremely strong security, very effectively blocking eavesdropping. Both methods dynamically change the encryption keys making them nearly impossible to circumvent. WPA2 adds support for hardwarebased AES, which adds improved performance and the strongest data encryption. Mixed mode allows clients using either WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES). This provides the most reliable security, and is easiest to implement, but it might not be compatible with older adapters. The WPA + WPA2 option is the most flexible, since it allows clients using either one. In the Passphrase field, enter a word or group of 863 printable characters. Click Apply to save your settings.

If this check box is selected, the wireless access point will broadcast its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations will be able to see this SSID for connections to this Access Point. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a component of the IEEE 802. 11e wireless LAN standard for quality of service (QoS). For information about these settings, see the following section, "Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)" on page 4-7. For information about this list, see "Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address" on page 4-10. Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to connect a wireless client securely and easily to the Access Point. WPS automatically configures the wireless client with the same network name (SSID) and wireless security settings on the access point. Note: NETGEAR's Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard (for more information, see http://www. wi-fi. org). All other Wi-Ficertified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect. When you add wireless clients, whether or not they are WPS enabled, the added devices must share the same network name (SSID) and security passphrase. For more information, see "Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup" on page 4-10. The home theater adapter provides two methods for connecting to a wireless client that supports WPS, described in the following sections: Push Button Configuration" Enabling a Wireless Client Wireless Security v1. 0, November 2010 4-7 3DHD Home Theater Adapter WNHD3004 User Manual Push Button Configuration There are two methods to enable a wireless client to join a network using a push button on the router: using the physical push button or using the software button in the Add WPS Client screen.
