Wireless Security Screen
There are 3 options for Wireless security:
•
Disabled
- no data encryption is used.
•
WEP
- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
•
WPA-P S K
- data is encrypted using the WPA -PSK standard. This is a later standard than
WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. Use this if possible.
•
WPA2-P S K
- this is a further development of WPA -PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the A ES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
Wireless Security - WEP
If "WEP" is selected, the screen will look like the following example.
