3.7 Wireless Security

This wireless access point provides many types of wireless security (wireless data encryption). When you use data encryption, data
transferred by radio signals in the air will become unreadable for those people who don't know the correct encryption key
(encryption password).
There are two ways to set wireless security:
1. Click on Security on the left of the Web management interface.
2. Click on the Set Security button when the wireless operating mode you selected is AP Bridge-Point to Point, AP Bridge-Point to
Multi-Point, or AP Bridge-WDS.
Select from four security levels: disable (no security—data encryption disabled), WEP, WPA pre-shared key, and WPA radius.
Refer to the following sections for detailed instructions.
NOTE: If multiple SSIDs are enabled, select the SSID network you want to configure in advance.
It's very important to set wireless security settings properly! Without a proper setting, hackers and intruders may gain access to
your local network and cause serious problems with your computers and servers.
There are several things you can do to improve wireless security:
1. Always enable data encryption. Only disable it when you want to open your wireless access point to the public.
