Up To 300 Mbps. Performance mode, using channel expansion to achieve the 300

Mbps data rate. The JWNR2000v2 router uses the channel you selected as the
primary channel and expands to the secondary channel (primary channel +4 or –4) to
achieve a 40 MHz frame-by-frame bandwidth. The router detects channel usage and
disables frame-by-frame expansion if the expansion would result in interference with
the data transmission of other access points or clients.
The maximum wireless signal rate is derived from the IEEE

Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual data throughput can vary.
Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of

Set Up WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

WPA–Pre-Shared Key performs authentication. WPA-PSK uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) data encryption, and WPA2-PSK uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) data
encryption. Both methods dynamically change the encryption keys making them nearly
impossible to circumvent.
Mixed mode allows clients using either WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES). This provides
the most reliable security, and is easiest to implement, but it might not be compatible with
older adapters.
To display the security options WPA-PSK and WEP, you have to use
Note:
the legacy mode setting of Up to 54 Mpbs.
To set up WPA2 or WPA:

Select a radio button for the security option that you want to use. Mixed mode (WPA-PSK
2.
[TKIP] + WP2-PSK [AES]) is the most flexible, since it allows clients using either WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK.
