manual abstract
1. Select Basic > Guest Network to display the following screen: 2. Select any of the following wireless settings: Enable Guest Network. When this check box is selected, the guest network is enabled, and guests can connect to your network using the SSID of this profile. Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers or wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or access Ethernet devices on the network. Enable SSID Broadcast. If this check box is selected, the wireless access point broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the correct SSID for connections to this access point. Allow guest to access My Local Network. If this check box is selected, any user who connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just Internet access. 3. Give the guest network a name. The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters. You then manually configure the wireless devices in your network to use the guest network name in addition to the main nonguest SSID. 4. Select a security option from the list. The security options are described in Guest Network Wireless Security Options on page 27. 5. Click Apply to save your selections. Guest Network Wireless Security Options A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption. This section presents an overview of the security options and provides guidance on when to use which option. Note that it is also possible to set up a guest network without wireless security. NETGEAR does not recommend this. WPA Encryption WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking. WPA uses a passphrase to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points. It is superseded by WPA2-PSK. WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA-PSK. It is advertised to be theoretically indecipherable due to the greater degree of randomness in encryption keys that it generates. WPA2-PSK gets higher speed because it is usually implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is usually implemented through software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPS-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode can provide broader support for all wireless clients. WPA2-PSK clients get higher speed and security, and WPA-PSK clients get decent speed and security. The product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA client software should have instructions about configuring their WPA settings. FastLane lets you specify the bandwidth that you want reserved when you are connecting from a trusted IP address, and push the FastLane button. FastLane gives you guaranteed bandwidth for video streaming applications. From the Basic screen, you can: • Turn the FastLane feature on and off. (FastLane is set to off by default.) • Specify the amount of bandwidth reserved for the trusted IP address. • Set the WPS/FastLane button on your router to WPS or FastLane. (This button is set to WPS by default.) To use FastLane: 1. Select FastLane from the Basic screen menu. The first FastLane screen appears: 2. To select FastLane features, set the screen like this: • FastLane Status: By default, FastLane is turned off, and WPS is turned on. To turn on FastLane, check the Turn On FastLane check box. • Bandwidth Reserved for Trusted IP Address: Specify the percentage of bandwidth on the wireless router to reserve when you connect from a trusted IP address. This prevents other users from using up your bandwidth. When you connect to the router from the trusted IP address, you have guaranteed bandwidth for video streaming applications. • Enter the IP address in the fields provided. • Select a percentage from the drop-down list: 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%. • WPS and FastLane Push Button: Select FastLane by clicking the FastLane radio button. 3. Click Apply to save your changes. 4. genie Advanced Home Specifying custom settings This chapter explains the features available from the genie Advanced Home screen, shown in the following figure: This chapter contains the following sections: • Setup Wizard • WPS Wizard • Setup Menu • WAN Setup • LAN Setup • Quality of Service (QoS) Setup...
