you use data encryption, data transferred by radio signals in the air will become
unreadable for those people who don’t know the correct encryption key (encryption
password).
There are three types of security level you can select: Disable (no security - data
encryption disabled), WEP and WPA Pre-shared Key. Please refer to the following sections
for detailed instructions.
