

  WEP 128 Bit – Shared: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but 

stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi 
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or 
WPA2. 
 
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider 
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP. 



  WPA PSK TKIP: This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi 

devices. 



  WPA2 PSK AES: This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer 

Wi-Fi devices. 



  WPA2 PSK TKIP: This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer 

Wi-Fi devices. 



  WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (recommended setting if any of your devices are more than 

two years old): Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can connect to the 
NETGEAR 6100D. Supported by most Wi-Fi devices. 

6. Click Submit. 

The option you select determines the Wi-Fi security used and also the maximum length of the 
Wi-Fi password. 

The Main and Guest Wi-Fi network names identify your Wi-Fi networks and are visible to other 
Wi-Fi-enabled devices. 

You can change the names and passwords for your Main and Guest Wi-Fi networks on the 
gateway’s Wi-Fi > Options page. 

For optimal security, you should make your Wi-Fi network names and passwords unique, and 
change them on a regular basis. 

 If you change either of the Wi-Fi network names or passwords, all connected devices will 

be disconnected and will have to reconnect using the new values. 

 For security reasons, it’s recommended you disable SSID Broadcast. (See 

Options 

Section

.) 

To make your Wi-Fi passwords more secure: 

● 

Use numbers and both uppercase and lowercase letters. 

● 

Use special characters (for example, ‘@’, ‘#’, etc.).
