Security Profiles - NETGEAR ProSafe WG302 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302
– In "Infrastructure" mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an
access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is
used. This can only happen when the access points use the same SSID.
See http://documentation.netgear.com/reference/enu/wireless/index.htm
on wireless channels.
• Data Rate. Shows the available transmit data rate of the wireless network. The default is Best.
• Output Power. Set the transmit signal strength of the access point (AP). The options are full,
half, quarter, eighth, and min. Decrease the transmit power if two or more APs are close
together and use the same channel frequency. The default is Full.

Security Profiles

Security profiles let you configure
unique security settings for each
SSID. The WG302 supports up to
eight SSIDs. The Security Profile
Settings menu is shown to the right.
