NETGEAR WG102NA manual Data Encryption, Wireless Client Security Separation

NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 Reference Manual

Data Encryption

Select the data encryption that you want to use. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting above (otherwise, the default is None). The Data Encryption settings are explained in the table below:

	Data Encryption Settings
None	No encryption is used.
64 bits WEP	Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.
128 bits WEP	Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.
152 bits WEP	Proprietary mode that only works with other wireless devices that support this mode.
TKIP	This is the standard encryption method used with WPA.
AES	This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. Some clients may support AES
	with WPA, but this is not supported by this Access Point.
TKIP + AES	This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast
	(point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES.

The Passphrases and Keys are explained below:

•Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the other wireless stations.

•Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data.

•WPA Passphrase (Network Key). If using WPA-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase (network key). The network key must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.

Wireless Client Security Separation

If enabled, the associated wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other. This feature is used for hotspots and other public access situations. The default is Disabled.
