Configuring Wireless Security Manually

Note: Most users will not need to read this chapter. Most users either use the
Wireless-N Router's default settings ("no wireless security") or use the Setup Wizard
described in Chapter 2
We recommend you set WPA2/WPA security unless you know that you will be
connecting devices to your network that support only WEP. If you know you have
some devices that only support WEP, go to WEP Configuration on page 40.
Otherwise continue to WPA2/WPA Configuration.

WPA2/WPA Configuration

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method that offers a stronger security
standard than WEP.
Important! If you choose to configure your router using either WPA2 or WPA
encryption, then you must configure all devices on your wireless network with the
same WPA encryption method and shared key.
You can configure WPA2 or WPA encryption using the
Configuration Manager's Advanced program.
