WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) data encryption provides
strong data security. WPA-PSK will block eavesdropping. Because this is a new standard,
wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.

AutoCell Enhanced RF Security. In addition to standard encryption and security
mechanisms such as WEP and WPA, the WG302 AutoCell Feature provides self-organizing
micro cells for an additional level of privacy for enterprises. In this mode, AutoCell shrinks
the size of coverage to the minimum to reach clients but also shrinks the size of the beacons
that access points use to announce their presence. This mode makes an enterprise wireless
LAN nearly invisible to users outside an office building. AutoCell clients such as the
NETGEAR WAG511 are highly recommended for Enhanced RF Security.
