There are four types of security level you can select: Disable (no
security - data encryption disabled), WEP, WPA Pre-shared Key
and WPA RADIUS. Refer to the following sections for detailed
instructions.
Remember, 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 do something to your computers
and servers that could cause serious problems.
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.
2. Never use simple words as encryption passwords. Using a
random combination of symbols, numbers and letters will
greatly improve security.
3. Use WPA when possible — it's much safer than WEP.
4. Change your encryption password after you’ve used it for a
while.
NOTE: If you have enabled the Multiple SSID function, select
the SSID network you want to configure in advance.
