The Wireless Security screen configures the security of
your wireless network(s). The supported wireless security
modes are WPA2-Personal, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Mixed,
WPA2-Enterprise, WPA-Enterprise, RADIUS, and WEP. WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a security standard stronger
than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WPA2
is a more advanced, more secure version of WPA. WPA-
Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, and RADIUS use a RADIUS
(Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server for
authentication. For detailed instructions on configuring
wireless security on the Gateway, refer to “Chapter 2:
Wireless Security”.
