 Wireless N150 Access Point WN604
•     
AES. This is the standard encryption method for WPA2.
•     
TKIP + AES. This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. 
For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use 
AES. 
Passphrase. To use the passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and 
click the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys have to 
match the other wireless stations.
Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data 
transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used 
only to decrypt received data. 
WPA Preshared Key Passphrase. If using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, enter the passphrase 
here. All wireless stations have to use the same passphrase (network key). The network key 
has to be from 8 to 64 characters in length.
Wireless Client Security Separation. If enabled, the associated wireless clients cannot 
communicate with each other. (This feature is intended for hotspots and other public access 
situations.) The default is Disabled.
Wireless Security Options
Your wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your walls by anyone with a 
compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. 
The access point provides highly effective security features. Deploy the security features 
appropriate to your needs.
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
•     
Restrict access based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so 
that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the WN604. MAC address filtering adds 
an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the 
wireless link is fully exposed. 
•     
Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If you disable broadcast 
of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the 
wireless network “discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista, and 
Unix systems, but the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized 
test equipment like wireless sniffers.
•     
Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data 
security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA 
makes it virtually impossible to compromise.
•     
Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP 
is a legacy security setting. NETGEAR recommends that you use WPA2 or WPA for 
stronger wireless security.
