TKIP

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method used with WPA. You

 

can also use TKIP with WPA2.

 

Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. NETGEAR recommends WPA2

 

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

 

 

AES

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2.

 

Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the WNDAP620 wireless

 

access point does not support WPA with AES.

TKIP + AES

The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets

 

use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients

 

use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption

 

method.

 

 

Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK

WPA-PSK, WPA-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK authentication use a pre-shared key (PSK, also called a passphrase or a network key) and do not require authentication from a RADIUS server.

The selections that are available from the Data Encryption drop-down list depend on the type of WPA-PSK authentication that you select from the Network Authentication drop-down list and are shown in the table that follows the figures.
