Note: WPS is available only if you select either a WPA2 Personal option (including
WPA/WPA2 Personal) or (not recommended) no security. (See
WPS.)
Note: You can also view the expanded list of Wi-Fi security options in the Security panel of
the Wi-Fi tab of the Advanced Settings window. (See "Accessing the Advanced
Settings Window" in
Some of the following options may be displayed, depending on the Basic Rate setting (see
Fi Tab: Security Panel):
● None — No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this
setting is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet
connection. (You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
● WEP 64 Bit - Shared — This option provides security, but it's relatively weak. This
option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of
your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
● WEP 128 Bit - Shared — This option provides security, but it's relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit - Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
● WEP 64 Bit - Open — This option provides security, but it's relatively weak. This option
works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your
devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
● WEP 128 Bit - Open — This option provides security, but it's relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit - Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
● WPA Personal - TKIP — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most
Wi-Fi devices.
● WPA Personal - TKIP/AES — This is a strong security standard that is supported by
most Wi-Fi devices.
