Security

The Security screen provides you with a versatile encryption
method to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network
and provide more secure data transmissions.

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels,
you should enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. Encryption security
requires you to use the same protocol set (WPA or WEP) and
encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Ethernet Bridge and
all of your wireless clients.
