Securing My Wireless v1. 1, May 2008 4-5 WNHDE111 5GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge User Manual Configuring WPA Wireless Security Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. For instructions on configuring wireless computers or PDAs (personal digital assistants) for WPA-PSK security, consult the documentation for the product you are using. 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 hardware based 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 options 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.

Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure the router's network name (SSID) and security settings and, at the same time, connect a wireless client securely and easily to the router. WPS automatically configures the network name (SSID) and wireless security settings for the router (if the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client. 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.
