Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302
• If you are using Access Point mode, then all options are available. In other modes such as
Repeater or Bridge, some options may be unavailable.
• Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with
Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software is
required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA
or WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.
You can configure the WG302 to use the types of network authentication shown in the table below.
