Configuring Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Security

A high-performance client such as the NETGEAR WN511B must connect to the wireless modem
router using WPA2-PSK to achieve maximum performance. Wireless clients that connect to the
wireless modem router using WPA-PSK run at no more than 802.11g speed. This option allows
wireless clients to use either encryption method.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Furthermore, client software is
required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do
include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter
hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product document for
your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring
WPA settings.
