Wireless protection

Three types of wireless protection are offered: WPA, 802.1X, and WEP.
On the MSM410 and MSM422
When using 802.11n, wireless protection settings are enforced as follows:
 WEP protection is never permitted. If selected, WPA or WPA2 protection is used instead.
When using pure 802.11n in either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands, WPA2 protection is used

instead of WPA.
