Authentication Settings

Network Authentication and

Data Encryption

From the Network Authentication drop-down list, select Open System, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data Encryption drop-down list provides, and whether the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field displays.

Open System Although you can use the bridge communication without any authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the Data 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.
