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, PSK2-Enterprise, RADIUS, and WEP. (PSK stands for
Pre-Shared Key, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for 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.
