5.3.3 Security
Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. If you are using the
AirLink101 Music Bridge on an existing network, you will probably have a security
scheme already set up, which you should follow here.
If you are setting up a new network, you can configure the security however you like. It
is suggested that you use encryption to prevent eavesdropping of sensitive data (email,
online banking, etc) that may be on your network. Please note, however, that by using
encryption, there may be a significant drop in data throughput on the network.
Encryption: None
This is the default value, and provides no extra level of security
Encryption: WEP
Warning: There are well-documented flaws with WEP encryption. It is recommended
that you use a stronger type of encryption, like WPA or WPA2.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a form of encryption that requires a 5 or 10-digit key
to be entered. If WEP is selected, you will have to distribute the WEP key either
manually (by entering it into each device on the network), or by selecting to Use 802.1x
