NETGEAR FVS318N manual Wireless Security Profiles, 112

ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP) encryption. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. The wireless VPN firewall supports WPA with a pre-shared key (PSK), RADIUS, or a combination of PSK and RADIUS.

For more information about how to configure WPA, see Configure and Enable Wireless Profiles on page 115.

•WPA2. Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) data encryption provides strong data security with CCMP encryption or a combination of TKIP and CCMP encryption. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. Use WPA2 only if all clients in your network support WPA2. The wireless VPN firewall supports WPA2 with PSK, RADIUS, or a combination of PSK and RADIUS.

For more information about how to configure WPA2, see Configure and Enable Wireless Profiles on page 115.

•WPA+WPA2 mixed mode. This mode supports data encryption with a combination of TKIP and CCMP for both WPA and WPA2 clients. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA2 make it virtually impossible to compromise. The wireless VPN firewall supports WPA+WPA2 with PSK, RADIUS, or a combination of PSK and RADIUS.

For more information about how to configure WPA+WPA2 mixed mode, see Configure and Enable Wireless Profiles on page 115.

Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. NETGEAR recommends WPA2 with CCMP to make use of 802.11n rates and speed.
