Security Mode Three security levels are available for protecting the SpeedTouch™ wireless network environment.

level 0:

No security i.e. the data will not be encrypted, no authentication process will be used.

level 1:

Backwards compatible security with any Wi-Fi certified client(WEP), i.e. encrypting the traffic between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients by sharing a pre-defined 64-bit or 128-bit Network key.

level 2:

WPA-PSKis the highest form of security available but make sure that your wireless client and client manager are compatible with it.

By default the SpeedTouch™ access point uses security level 0, implying that no encryption is used for wireless networking. In case security level 1 or 2 is active, select Security Level 0 - no encryption to return to security level 0. Selecting this security level has immediate effect. Data will no longer be encrypted. Therefore, to re-access the wireless environment of the SpeedTouch™ you must first disable security on your wireless client.
