Network 
Authentication and

 

Data Encryption

From the Network Authentication drop-down list, select Open System, 
WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data 
Encryption drop-down list provides, and whether or not the WPA Passphrase 
(Network Key) field displays.

Open System

Although you can use the bridge communication without any 
authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that 
you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the Data 
Encryption drop-down list, select one of the following:

•  None. No authentication and encryption.

•  64-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit 

encryption.

• 128-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit 

encryption.

•  152-bit WEP. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using 

128+24 bits encryption. This mode functions only with other 
wireless station that support this mode.

WPA-PSK

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard 
encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only 
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.

In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a 
passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 
8 and 63 characters (inclusive).

WPA2-PSK

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard 
encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only 
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list.

In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a 
passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 
8 and 63 characters (inclusive).

NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication 

with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and 
speed.
