Security Profile Screen

This screen is displayed when you select a Profile on the Security Profiles screen, and click the Configure
button.

Profile Data

Enter the desired settings for each of the following:
Profile Name
SSID
Wireless Band

Security Settings

Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method.
The available options are:
•
None - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.
•
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not
very strong.
•
WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and
should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The
256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently. (8 ~ 63 characters)
•
WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption. (8 ~ 63 characters)
•
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). (8 ~ 63 characters)
