Wireless Security

Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. If you try to connect to a network with wireless security the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that network you must set up the WG511T with exactly the same kind of wireless security settings. The main types of wireless security used for home networks are: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK) Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) For more information about wireless security, see the wireless reference document at: http://documentation.netgear.com/reference/enu/wireless/index.htm In addition to the wireless security features, networks should use LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in the network. The procedures below explain how to configure the wireless encryption settings of your NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511T.
Using Wireless Security Features
You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. Or, you can use WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) encryption. For more information about wireless security, see the Web link to Wireless Communications on page B-1. In addition to the WG511T wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in your network. The procedures below show how to set up the WEP encryption settings of your NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511T.
