Netgear WMS5316 - ProSafe 16-AP Wireless Management System Reference Manual

The following table shows the data encryption options based on network authentication.

Open

None.
WEP.

No encryption.

Shared Key

WEP.

• 64-bit WEP encryption uses 40/64 bit 

encryption.

• 128-bit WEP encryption uses  

104/128 bit encryption.

• 152-bit WEP is a proprietary mode that 

works only with other wireless devices 
that support this mode.

Legacy 802.1x
WPA with RADIUS
WPA2 with RADIUS

• Select the WPA2 option only if all 

clients support WPA2. If this option is 
selected, you have to use AES.

• WPA/WPA2 with RADIUS allows 

clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) 
or WPA2 (with AES). If this option is 
selected, you have to use TKIP + 
AES encryption.

All require RADIUS configuration.

WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK

TKIP or TKIP + AES and a WPA 
passphrase (network key).

Standard encryption method for WPA2. 

WPA2-PSK

AES and TKIP + AES .

Some clients support AES with WPA, but 
this is not supported by this access point.

WPA and WPA2

TKIP + AES encryption and enter the 
WPA passphrase (network key).

Clients can use either WPA (with TKIP) or 
WPA2 (with AES). 

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK:

TKIP + AE.

Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast 
(point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients 
use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES.

Advanced Security Profiles List for Access Point Groups

Most networks do not require access point groups. See 

network and advanced settings for access point groups.

This screen lets you edit up to eight security profiles for managed access points in the 
selected group. The number of security profiles applied to managed access point depends on 
the supported profiles per access point. Separate profiles are applied to 802.11b/bg/ng and 
802.11a/na mode radios.
