Disable - 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.
WPA-PSK is the version of WPA which does NOT require a
Radius Server on your LAN.
