4.7 Configuring Wireless Security

This section describes the different types of encryption available and how to configure them.

If you are creating a custom profile, you need to manually configure the encryption settings.

Open the Wireless Monitor utility, click Profile tab and then click Add.

The different options of wireless network encryption settings are:

Disable: No encryption in use

WEP: The most popular but least secure form of encryption

WPA/WPA2-PSK:The most secure and recommended level of encryption
