Data Encryption

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

 

TKIP + AES supports both 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.

 

 

 

Passphrase

Enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters

 

(inclusive). The default passphrase is sharedsecret.

 

You can display the actual passphrase by selecting the Show Passphrase in Clear Text

 

Yes radio button.

Show Passphrase

Select the Yes radio button to display the actual passphrase in the Passphrase field. The

in Clear Text

default setting is No.

Configure RADIUS Server Settings

For authentication, accounting, or both authentication and accounting using RADIUS, you need to configure primary servers and optional secondary servers. These RADIUS server settings can apply to all devices that are connected to the wireless access point.

You can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 servers. In the IPv4 Radius Server Settings section, enter IPv4 addresses only; in the IPv6 Radius Server Settings section, enter IPv6 addresses only.
