Wireless Access

Enable Wireless Access

Selected by default, this setting enables the wireless radio,

Point

Point

which allows the router to work as a wireless access point.

 

 

Turning off the wireless radio can be helpful for

 

 

configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting.

 

 

 

 

Allow Broadcast Name

Selected by default, the router broadcasts its SSID, allowing

 

(SSID)

wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the

 

 

correct SSID. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only

 

 

devices with the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the

 

 

wireless network discovery feature of products such as

 

 

Windows XP, but the data is still exposed to equipment like

 

 

wireless sniffers. For this reason NETGEAR recommends

 

 

that you also enable wireless security.

 

 

 

 

Wireless Isolation

This feature is disabled by default. If it is enabled, wireless

 

 

stations cannot communicate with each other or with

 

 

stations on the wired network.

Wireless Station

Turn Access Control On

Access control is disabled by default so that any computer

Access List

 

configured with the correct SSID can connect. See

 

 

“Restricting Access by MAC Address”.

 

 

 

Security Options

 

• Disabled. You can use this setting to establish wireless

 

 

connectivity before implementing wireless security.

 

 

NETGEAR strongly recommends that you implement

 

 

wireless security.

 

 

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Use encryption keys

 

 

and data encryption for data security. You can select

 

 

64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See “Configuring WEP”.

 

 

• WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key).

 

 

Allow only computers configured with WPA to connect to

 

 

the router. See “Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2”.

 

 

• WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access with 2 Pre-Shared

 

 

Keys). Allow only computers configured with WPA2 to

 

 

connect to the router. See “Configuring WPA, WPA2, or

 

 

WPA/WPA2”.

 

 

• WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK. Allow computers configured

 

 

with either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security to connect to

 

 

the router. See “Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2”.

 

 

• The WPA-802.1x,WPA2-802.1, and WPA-802.1x

 

 

+WPA2-802.1options utilize user authentication

 

 

implemented using IEE 802.1x and Radius servers. See

 

 

“Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2”.
