3.3.2 Security Tab

The wireless security sub tab offers you the method of security (if any) you may select. Select WPA/WPA2, WPA/WPA2-Passphrase, 802.1x, Pre Shared WEP, or None. WPA/WPA2 is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption, and 802.1x is the RADIUS authentication service. The default setting is None.
