Setting Descriptions
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standard encryption method used with WPA. You
can also use TKIP with WPA2.
Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of operation. If you want to use the 11n rates and
speed, NETGEAR recommends WPA2 authentication with AES encryption.
AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2.
Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the wireless access point
does not support WPA with AES.
TKIP + AES The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets
use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients
use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption
method.
Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK, WPA-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK authentication uses a pre-shared key
(PSK, also called a passphrase or a network key) and does not require authentication from a
RADIUS server.
The selections that are available from the Data Encryption drop-down menu depend on the
type of WPA-PSK authentication that you select from the Network Authentication drop-down
menu and are shown in the table that follows the figures.
