Configuring Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Security

A high-performance client such as the NETGEAR WN511B must connect to the wireless
modem router using WPA2-PSK to achieve maximum performance. Wireless clients that
connect to the wireless modem router using WPA-PSK run at no more than 802.11g speed.
This option allows wireless clients to use either encryption method.
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.
To configure Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK:
1.
Log in at the default LAN address 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 wireless modem router.
3. Select the Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK radio button. The Wireless Settings screen
expands to include the WPA-PSK.
