The Wireless screens let you configure the settings for wireless access,
security, and protocols.
The Wireless - Basic screen lets you enable or disable Wi-Fi capability in the
router. The default setting for wireless is enabled. From this screen you can
also hide the access point so others cannot see your ID on the network.

The next screen is the Wireless - Security screen which allows you to select
the network authentication method and to enable or disable WEP encryption.
Note that depending on the network authentication that is selected, the screen
will change accordingly so additional fields can be configured for the specific
authentication method.
Network authentication methods include the following-
Open – Anyone can access the network. The default is a disabled WEP
encryption setting.
Shared – WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key strength of
64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click on Set Encryption Keys to
manually set the network encryption keys. Up to 4 different keys can be
set and you can come back to select which one to use at any time.
802.1X – Requires mutual authentication between a client station and the
router by including a RADIUS-based authentication server. Information
