• Network Authentication. The WAG302 Access Point is set by default as an open system with
no authentication. When setting up Network Authentication, bear in mind the following:
– If you are using Access Point mode, then all options are available. In other modes such as
Repeater or Bridge, some options may be unavailable.
– Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with
Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software
is required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and
WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.
You can configure the WG302v2 to use the types of network authentication shown in the table
below.
