The WIRELESS Tab - WIRELESS SECURITY

These settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are six wireless security modes supported by the Router: PSK-Personal, PSK2-Personal, PSK-Enterprise, PSK-2 Enterprise, RADIUS, and WEP. PSK (Pre- Shared Key), is a security standard stronger than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), while RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) For details on configuring wireless security for the Router, turn to “Appendix B: Wireless Security.” If you do not want to use wireless security, select Disabled in the Security Mode.
