Security

The Security screen provides you with a versatile encryption method to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network and provide more secure data transmissions.

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. Encryption security requires you to use the same protocol set (WPA or WEP) and encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Ethernet Bridge and all of your wireless clients.
