Encryption The encryption method to be used on the corresponding SSID.
You can choose between WEP, WPA Pre-Shared Key, or WPA RADIUS.

Disabled - No data encryption is used.
 WEP - Data is encrypted using the WEP standard. WEP is the Wired Equivalent Privacy
security over a wireless network.
 WPA-PSK - Data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP,
and provides much better security than WEP. WPA-PSK is Wi-Fi Protected Access using a
Pre-Shared Key . This is the equivalent of password protecting your wireless network.
 WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
 WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the
client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using
the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:

This Access Point must have a Client Login on the Radius Server.

Each user must have a User Login on the Radius Server.

Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.

All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the
wireless LAN. The authentication is then processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does
not encrypt the data during communication.
