Security System
Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected
method:
•
Disable
- No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can
connect to your network.
•
WEP
- The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmis-
sion, but the encryption system is not very strong.
•
WPA-PSK
- Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission.
WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible.
WPA-PSK is the version of WPA which does NOT require a Ra-
dius Server on your LAN.
WEP
Authentication
Normally this can be left at the default value of

Keys
