Network

Open System

Although you can use the bridge communication without any

Authentication and

 

authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that

Data Encryption

 

you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the Data

(continued)

 

Encryption drop-down list, select one of the following:

 

 

None. No authentication and encryption.

 

 

64-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit

 

 

encryption.

 

 

128-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using

 

 

104/128-bit encryption.

 

 

152-bit WEP. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using

 

 

128+24 bit encryption. This mode functions only with

 

 

other wireless stations that support this mode.

 

 

 

 

WPA-PSK

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard

 

 

encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only

 

 

selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.

 

 

In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a

 

 

passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between

 

 

8 and 63 characters (inclusive).

 

WPA2-PSK

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard

 

 

encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only

 

 

selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.

 

 

In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a

 

 

passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between

 

 

8 and 63 characters (inclusive).

 

 

Note: NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication

 

 

with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and

 

 

speed.

AP1 needs to have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, and AP2 needs to have AP1’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.

3.Verify the following settings for both wireless access points:

Both wireless access points are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.

Both wireless access points use the same channel, authentication mode, and security settings.

4.Verify connectivity across the LAN 1 and LAN 2.
