Netgear DUALBAND WLAN WNDAP360 N300 AP WNDAP360-PES ユーザーズマニュアル

When you configure network authentication, bear in mind that not all wireless adapters 
support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP, Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3, and Windows 
Vista do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software is 
required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and 
WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.

For information about the types of network authentication that the wireless access point 
supports, see 

 

Select the data encryption that you want to use. The available options depend on the 
network authentication setting described earlier (otherwise, the default is None). The data 
encryption settings are explained in 

 

If enabled, the associated wireless clients (using the same SSID) will not be able to 
communicate with each other. This feature is useful for hotspots and other public access 
situations. By default, wireless client separation is disabled. For more information, see 

 

If enabled and if the network devices (hubs and switches) on your LAN support the VLAN 
(802.1Q) standard, the default VLAN ID for the wireless access point will be associated 
with each profile. The default VLAN ID needs to match the IDs that are used by the other 
network devices. For more information, see 

Some concepts and guidelines regarding the SSID are explained in the following list:

A basic service set (BSS) is a group of wireless stations and a single wireless access 

point, all using the same security profile or service set identifier (BSSID). The actual 
identifier in the BSSID is the MAC address of the wireless radio. (A wireless radio can 
have multiple MAC addresses, one for each security profile.)

An extended service set (ESS) is a group of wireless stations and multiple wireless 

access points, all using the same identifier (ESSID).

Different wireless access points within an ESS can use different channels. To reduce 

interference, adjacent wireless access points should use different channels. 

Roaming is the ability of wireless stations to connect wirelessly when they physically 

move from one BSS to another one within the same ESS. The wireless station 
automatically changes to the wireless access point with the least interference or best 
performance.

Before You Change the SSID, WEP, and WPA Settings

For a new wireless network, print or copy the following form and fill in the settings. For an 
existing wireless network, the network administrator can provide this information. Be sure to 
set the Country/Region correctly as the first step.
