Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.
Note: It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.
If you want to use WPA2 in your NWA1300-NJ, you can select to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should select the WPA/WPA2 option in the NWA1300-NJ.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.

You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the NWA1300-NJ’s new settings.
