wireless client devices. Select the most suitable security mechanism from

Parameter Description
No WEP, No WPA/WPA2 Disables all wireless security. To make it easier to
set up your wireless network, we recommend
enabling this setting initially. By default, wireless
security is disabled.
WEP Only Once you have your wireless network in place, the
minimum security we recommend is to enable the
legacy security standard, Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP). See “WEP” on page 4-45.
WPA/WPA2 Only For maximum wireless security, you should enable
the WPA/WPA2 option. See “WPA/WPA2” on
page 4-47.
