RangeMax NEXT Wireless Access Point WN802T Reference Manual

•Use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.

WEP/WPA Settings

The WN802T Access Point is set by default “None” or no authentication. When setting up Network Authentication, bear in mind the following:

Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software is required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.

•Network Authentication. You can configure the RangeMax NEXT to use the types of network authentication shown in the table below.
