Netgear DGN100Bv3 User Manual

WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means 
that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (

with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking. 

These types of wireless security options use a pre-shared key (PSK), which is the same as a 
passphrase, wireless network password, or network key. For help with WPA settings on your 
wireless computer or device, see the instructions that came with your product.

You can select from the following wireless PSK security options:

WPA-PSK [TKIP]. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides strong data security with 
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. This option supports speeds of up to 
54 Mbps only.

WPA2-PSK [AES]. Wi-Fi Protected Access version

 

2 (WPA2) provides strong data 

security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. This is the preset wireless 
security that is enabled by default. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. This option 
supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps. If not all clients in your network support WPA2, select 
WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode.

WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK is referred to as mixed 
mode, which supports a combination of TKIP and AES encryption for both WPA and 
WPA2 clients. For WPA clients, this option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only. For 
WPA2 clients, this option supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps.
