Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you
should enable encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same
set of encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Barricade and
all of your wireless clients. You can choose between standard
64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption keys. However, please
be aware that the extra processing time required for encryption
may affect the throughput for wireless communications.
