The encryption selection depends on which methods are supported by all your wireless
network components.
ì
Set the corresponding encryption of your data on the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108
and then on the other components of your wireless network.
You can use the following security mechanisms:
u
WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK (see page 58)
u
WAP2 and WPA2 / WPA with authentication server (only in Access point mode,
see page 59)

WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy), (see page 60)
We recommend using WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless
network.
