is required that all wireless network devices support this method. The strongest
method of security is WPA (WiFi Protected Access).
This router also support the successor of WPA, called WPA2. Because there are
devices that do not support WPA2, we do not discuss WPA2 in this manual.
If you wish to use WPA security, continue with paragraph 4.4.1 (recommended). If you
wish to use WEP security, continue with paragraph 4.4.2.
