NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual

Table 2-2 Data Encryption Settings (continued)

Settings

Description

 

 

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 Pre-Shared 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.

Note: Security Profiles that share the same type of network authentication must share the same passphrase or keys. Security Profiles that use WEP must share the

same four keys, but they do not need to use the same default key.

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.

VLAN ID

Enter a VLAN ID from 1-4094 to assign traffic from wireless clients to a VLAN. When a wireless client uses this Security Profile, the traffic is tagged with the VLAN ID you specify. To assign multiple Security Profiles to the same VLAN, enter the same VLAN ID for each profile. The default VLAN ID is 1. If you enter a VLAN ID that is not the default, make sure the VLAN ID matches the VLAN ID that switches and other network devices use on the LAN.
