Configuring Your 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 2-10 .
Security Options (see “Configuring Your
Wireless Security” ).
• Disabled. You can use this setting to establish
wireless connectivity before implementing wireless
security. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you
implement wireless security.
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Use encryption
keys and data encryption for data security. You can
select
64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See
“Configuring WEP” .
• WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access Pre-Shared
Key). Allow only computers configured with WPA to
connect to the modem router. See “Configuring WPA,
WPA2, or WPA/WPA2” .
• WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access with 2 Pre-
Shared Keys) . Allow only computers configured with
WPA2 to connect to the modem router. See
“Configuring WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2” .
• WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK. Allow computers configured
with either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security to
connect to the modem router. See
“Configuring WPA,
WPA2, or WPA/WPA2” .
• The WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1, and WPA-802.1x
+WPA2-802.1 options utilize user authentication
implemented using IEE 802.1x and Radius servers.

disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless computer to match
the new settings, or access the modem router from a wired computer to make
further changes.
