g. Click Apply to save your security profile settings. The Bridging screen displays
again.
h. If the correct profile name and security option are displayed in the table, select the
check box in the Enable column.
i. Click Apply in the Bridging screen to save your point-to-point bridge settings.
2. Configure a second wireless access point (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 (see
page 85) in point-to-point bridge mode.
AP1 must have AP2's MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, and AP2 must
have AP1's MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
Description
From the Network Authentication drop-down list, select Open System,
WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the
Data Encryption drop-down list provides, and whether or not the WPA
Passphrase (Network Key) field displays.
Open System Although you can use the bridge communication without any
authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that
you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the
Data Encryption drop-down list, select one of the following:
• None. No authentication and encryption.
• 64-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit
encryption.
• 128-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit
encryption.
• 152-bit WEP. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using
128+24 bits encryption. This mode functions only with
other wireless station that support this mode.
WPA-PSK TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard
encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase. The passphrase length must be between 8 and
63 characters (inclusive).
WPA2-PSK AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard
encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase. The passphrase length must be between 8 and
63 characters (inclusive).
Note: NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication
with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and
speed.
