Wireless Security

This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen. There are 3 options for Wireless security:

•Disabled - no data encryption is used.

•WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.

•WPA-PSK- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later stan- dard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
