5.2 Securing your signal booster (2) (WPA2 AES)
If you use the router as a signal booster with another device, WPA2 AES security is
supported. If you use another type of wireless router, WEP security is recommended.
To avoid having uninvited guests probing your wireless network we strongly
recommend securing your wireless network.
