ProSafe® 5-AP Wireless Management Software Data Sheet
WMS105
Easy to use wireless network management for small networks
The NETGEAR ProSafe 5-AP Wireless Management Software is an easy to use tool to simplify
the set up and maintenance of small wireless networks. Supporting up to fi ve access points,
the WMS105 Software provides a single location to confi gure and upgrade the entire wireless
network. Priced less than a single access point, the WMS105 software provides signifi cant time
savings and simplifi es the deployment of a wireless network.

Security
Access Points
Mimicking the set up process of a single access point, the easy to use WMS105 Software
enables even novice users to adopt a centralized management architecture. With automatic
discovery of all supported access points in the network, the WMS105 Software speeds the
confi guration of a multiple access point network.
By centrally confi guring all access points in the network, the WMS105 Software ensures identical
wireless parameters and security settings throughout the coverage area so that clients, guests
and unwanted intruders all get appropriate access to network resources. Setting up WPA2
encryption keys to keep traffi c safe from prying eyes and MAC authentication lists to only allow
approved devices on the wireless network can be done once and sent out to the entire network.
When used with ProSafe Access Points, the WMS105 software can confi gure a guest SSID for
the wireless network to allow visitors safe access to the Internet without allowing visibility to
company fi les or resources. Additionally, 802.1x network authentication can be applied for
further verifi cation of clients’ rights to be on the network.
Supporting a wide portfolio of standard NETGEAR access points, the WMS105 Software enables
customers to select the right access points for their needs, even mixing models to provide the
right coverage, as well as an upgrade path as technology changes. The access points retain
their standalone capabilities and do not require a conversion to be managed by the WMS105
software. Supported models include SOHO-class 802.11G access points as well as professional
caliber dual band 802.11N access points.
