Security

It is important to be aware of security issues, especially when using wireless. You can configure your security
settings on this page. You can set security on one SSID or both, select the appropriate SSID from the 'Select
Virtual AP' drop down box.
If you are transmitting sensitive data across radio
channels, you should enable wireless security.
For a more secure network, the router can implement
one or a combination of the following security
mechanisms:
• Disabled
• WEP Only
• WPA and/or WPA2
• WPA and 802.1x*
* Using 8021x security requires support to do so from your OS or other
third party radius server software, and is not recommended unless you
are familiar with setting up such systems.

Considerations
WEP: Built-in support on all 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
WPA: Requires WPA-enabled system and network
card. Some wireless cards may not support this,
please check with the wireless card's manufacturer.
WPA2: Requires WPA2 enabled system and network
card. Some wireless cards may not support this,
please check with the wireless card's manufacturer.
