NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602v4 Reference Manual

Use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) data encryption provides data security. WPA-PSK will block eavesdropping. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. However, WPA/WPA2 is not available in bridge mode (see “Configuring WPA-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-17, “Configuring WPA2-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-18or “Configuring WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Wireless Security” on page 2-18).
