The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network.
NETGEAR
is the default WN802T SSID. However, you may customize it by using up to 32
alphanumeric characters. Write your customized SSID on the line below.

The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless adapter
card. All wireless nodes in the same network must be configured with the same SSID,

Configuring WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK + WPA2-
PSK
Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client.
Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above include the client software that
supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA settings.
To configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK:
1.
Select
WEP/WPA Settings
under the
Security
menu on the left navigation pane. The
WEP/
WPA Settings
screen will display.
2.
Select one of the following radio buttons:
WPA-PSK
,
WPA2-PSK
or
WPA-PSK + WPA2-
PSK
. The Security encryption Passphrase field will display.

Configuring WPA with Radius, WPA2 with Radius, and WPA
+ WPA2 with Radius
In an organization with many wireless users, using a single preshared key may not be a practical
security method. Deploying a RADIUS server will allow you to manage user authentication
individually and centrally.
To configure WPA with Radius, WPA2 with Radius, or WPA + WPA2 with Radius:
1.
Select
WEP/WPA Settings
under the
Security
menu on the left navigation pane. The
WEP/
WPA Settings
screen will display.
