Wireless Security

This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen.
There are 3 options for Wireless security:
•
Disabled - no data encryption is used.
•
WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
•
WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later stan-
dard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless
stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
•
WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater
security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
•
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode",
allows clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES).
