Configuring Wpa, Wpa2, Or Mixed Wpa2 + Wpa Wireless Security - NETGEAR Wireless-N User Manual

Configuring WPA, WPA2, or Mixed WPA2 + WPA Wireless
Security
To set up wireless security, you can either manually configure it in the Wireless Settings screen, or
you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/
WPA2 security (see "Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network" on
page 2-12. ) WPA2 is the strongest security setting and is recommended if the client supports it.
Both WPA and WPA2 provide strong data security. WPA with TKIP is a software implementation
that 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. Consult the product
documentation for your wireless adapter for instructions for configuring WPA settings.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. If this happens, reconfigure your wireless
computer to match the new settings, or access the modem router from a wired
computer to make further changes.
To configure WPA or WPA2 in the modem router:
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever user name,
password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.
2. Select Wireless Settings from the main menu.
