Parameter

Description

No WEP, No WPA/WPA2

Disables all wireless security. To make it easier to

 

set up your wireless network, we recommend

 

enabling this setting initially. By default, wireless

 

security is disabled.

WEP Only

Once you have your wireless network in place, the

 

minimum security we recommend is to enable the

 

legacy security standard, Wired Equivalent Privacy

 

(WEP). See “WEP” on page 4-45.

 

 

WPA/WPA2 Only

For maximum wireless security, you should enable

 

the WPA/WPA2 option. See “WPA/WPA2” on

 

page 4-47.

Click Save Settings to proceed, or Cancel to change your settings.
