NETGEAR WNDAP620 manual Security Profiles

ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP620

•WPA and WPA-PSK (TKIP). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides strong data security with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA makes it virtually impossible to compromise.

WPA uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55.

WPA-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSKon page 56.

•WPA2 and WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) data encryption provides strong data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA2 makes it virtually impossible to compromise.

WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55.

WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSKon page 56.

•WPA & WPA2 and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK mixed modes. These modes support data encryption either with both WPA and WPA2 clients or with both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK clients and provide the most reliable security.

WPA & WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55.

WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSKon page 56.

Security Profiles

•Before You Change the SSID, WEP, and WPA Settings

•Configure and Enable Security Profiles

Security profiles let you configure unique security settings for each SSID on each radio of the wireless access point. For each radio, the wireless access point supports up to eight security profiles (BSSIDs) that you can configure on the individual Edit Wireless Network screens that are accessible from the Edit Security Profile screen (see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48).
