Wireless > Wireless Security
The wireless security settings configure the security
of your wireless network(s). The Router supports the
following wireless security options: WPA2 Personal, WPA
Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, WPA Enterprise, RADIUS, and
WEP. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a stronger security
standard than WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy), and
WPA2 is even more secure than WPA. RADIUS is Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service.

Wireless security is strongly recommended, and WPA2 is
the strongest method available. Use WPA2 if it is supported
by all of your wireless devices.
