•WPA-PSKand WPA2-PSK.Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) data encryption provide strong data security. WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK block eavesdropping. Because these are new standards, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.

•Turn Off the Wireless LAN. If you disable the wireless LAN, wireless devices cannot communicate with the router at all. You might choose to turn off the wireless LAN when you are away and other users of your network all use wired connections.
