Configuring Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Security
A high-performance client such as the NETGEAR WN511B must connect to the modem router
using WPA2-PSK to achieve maximum performance. Wireless clients that connect to the modem
router using WPA-PSK run at no more than 802.11g speed. This option allows wireless clients to
use either encryption method.
To configure Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK:
1. Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1, with the default user name of admin
and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have
set up.
2. Select Wireless Settings below Setup in the main menu of the modem router.
3. Select the Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK radio button. The Wireless Settings screen
expands to include the WPA-PSK.
4. Enter the pre-shared key in the Network Key field using between 8 and 63 characters.
Click Save to save your settings or click Apply to allow your changes to take effect
immediately.
Tip: If you are using a wireless computer to set up access control, be sure to add your
computer to the Trusted Wireless Stations list. Otherwise when you click Apply
and your changes take effect you will be disconnected from the wireless
network.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Furthermore, client software is
required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do
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.
