• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 is even more secure, but some older computers do not
support this standard. When using wireless computers or devices that support WPA2,
you can enter the passphrase to join the booster wireless network.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PASK [AES]. When using wireless computers or devices
that support either WPA or WPA2, you can enter the passphrase to join the booster
wireless network.
4. Click Apply to save your settings.
5. Use your wireless computer to connect to the booster network with its new settings. The
Smart Wizard can guide you through this process.
Set Up WPA, WPA2, or WPA + WPA2
Both WPA and WPA2 provide strong data security. WPA with TKIP can be used on Windows
systems with Service Pack 2 or later. WPA2 with AES is a hardware implementation; see
your device documentation before implementing it.
To configure WPA or WPA2 in the booster:

1. On the Wireless Setting screen, select the radio button for the WPA or WPA2 option of
your choice.
2. The settings displayed on the screen depend on which security option you select.
3. For WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, enter the passphrase.
4. Click Apply to save your settings.
Set Up WEP
WEP is a legacy wireless security setting. NETGEAR recommends that you use a newer
standard such as WPA2 or WPA unless you have older wireless equipment that supports only
WEP.
To set up WEP:

1. In the Wireless Settings screen, in the Security Options section, select the WEP radio
button.
2. Select the authentication type: Automatic, Open System, or Shared Key. The default is
Open System.
Note: The authentication is separate from the data encryption. You can
select authentication that requires a shared key, but still leaves data
transmissions unencrypted. Security is stronger if you use both the
Shared Key and WEP encryption settings.
3. Select the encryption strength setting:
WEP 64-bit encryption. Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, 
•
or A–F).
