Note:
If you use a wireless computer to configure Security Profile settings, and if
your computer uses the Security Profile that you change, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to
match the new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired
computer to make any further changes.

After the configuration changes are applied, the main Security Profile page displays.
6.
If the Security Profile you configured is not already enabled, click the Enable check box
associated with the Security Profile, and then click Apply.
By default, only the first Security Profile (default name: NETGEAR) is enabled. To disable
this Security Profile, you must disable the radio on the Wireless Settings page.
Profile Definition
The following settings are in the Profile Definition section on the Security Profile Configuration
screen:
•
Security Profile Name.
Use a name that makes it easy to recognize the profile, and to tell
profiles apart.
•
Wireless Network Name (SSID).
The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. The
SSID separates network traffic from different wireless networks. For more information about
the SSID, see
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
on page
2-11
.
•
Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID).
This field lets you turn off the SSID broadcast.
If you do so, then only stations that know the SSID can connect. Disabling the SSID broadcast
might interfere with the wireless network “discovery” feature of some products. The default is
to enable SSID broadcast.
Network Authentication
The ProSafe 802.11g
is set by default as an open system with no authentication. When setting up
Network Authentication, note the following information:
•
If you are using Access Point mode, then all options are available. In other modes such as
Repeater or Bridge, some options might be unavailable.
•
Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with
Service Pack 3 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 about configuring WPA2 settings.
You can configure the WG302v2 to use the types of network authentication shown in the table
below in
Table 2-1
.

Data Encryption
Select the data encryption that you want to use. The available options depend on the Network
Authentication setting above (otherwise, the default is None). The Data Encryption settings are
explained below:
Table 2-1
Network Authentication Types
Authentication
Description
Open System
Can be used with WEP encryption or no encryption.
Shared Key
You must use WEP encryption and enter at least one shared key.
Legacy 802.1x
You must configure the RADIUS Server Settings to use this option.
WPA with RADIUS
You must configure the RADIUS Server Settings to use this option.
WPA2 with RADIUS
WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support
WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption and configure the
RADIUS Server Settings.
WPA and WPA2 with
RADIUS
This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2
(with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and
configure the RADIUS Server Settings.
WPA-PSK
You must use TKIP encryption and enter the WPA passphrase
(Network key).
WPA2-PSK
WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support
WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption and enter the WPA
passphrase (Network key).
WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK
This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2
(with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and enter
the WPA passphrase (Network key).
Table 2-2
Data Encryption Settings
Settings
Description
None
No encryption is used.
64 bits WEP
Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.
128 bits WEP
Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.
152 bits WEP
Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that
support this mode.
TKIP
This is the standard encryption method used with WPA.

The Passphrases and Keys are explained below:
•
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 must 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 to
decrypt received data.
•
WPA Pre-Shared Key.
If using WPA-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless stations
must use the same passphrase (network key). The network key must be from 8 to 63 characters
in length.
Wireless Client Security Separation
If enabled, the associated wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other. This
feature is used for hotspots and other public access situations. The default is disabled.
VLAN ID
Enter a VLAN ID from 1-4094 to assign traffic from wireless clients to a VLAN. When a wireless
client uses this Security Profile, the traffic is tagged with the VLAN ID you specify. To assign
multiple Security Profiles to the same VLAN, enter the same VLAN ID for each profile. The
default VLAN ID is 1. If you enter a VLAN ID that is not the default, make sure the VLAN ID
matches the VLAN ID that switches and other network devices use on the LAN.
AES
This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. Some clients may
support AES with WPA, but this is not supported by this Access Point.
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.
Note:
Security Profiles that share the same type of network authentication must share
the same passphrase or keys. Security Profiles that use WEP must share the
same four keys, but they do not need to use the same default key.

The VLAN assigned to the first Security Profile (default name: NETGEAR) is the management
VLAN. By default all traffic on the WG302v2 uses VLAN 1, which is the default untagged
VLAN. Therefore, all traffic is untagged until you change the untagged traffic VLAN ID on the
Basic Settings page or assign a different VLAN ID to the Security Profile.
