ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360
Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with
RADIUS
WPA, WPA2, and WPA & WPA2 security requires RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication, so
you also need to define RADIUS server settings. For information about RADIUS servers, see
Configure RADIUS Server Settings on p
age 51.
The selections that are available from the Dat
a Encryption drop-down list depend on the type
of WPA authentication that you select from the Network Authentication drop-down list and are
shown in the following table.
• WPA with RADIUS

• WPA2 with RADIUS

• WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS

Field Descriptions
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the standa
rd encryption method used with WPA. You
can also use TKIP with WPA2.
Note: TKIP provides only legacy (slower) rates of o
peration. NETGEAR recommends WPA2
authentication with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and speed.
AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is
the standard encryption method used with WPA2.
Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with
WPA, the WNDAP360 wireless
access point does not support WPA with AES.
TKIP + AES The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets
use T
KIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients
use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption
method.
