no authentication, refer to the Encryption Type column to verify if there is some sort of
data protection used with the WLAN, or risk using this WLAN with no protection at all.

Encryption Type

Displays the name of the encryption scheme used by each listed WLAN to secure client
membership transmissions. None is listed if encryption is not used within this WLAN. In
case of no encryption, refer to the Authentication Type column to verify if there is some

the voice, video or normal data traffic it supports.

policy-based Access Control List (ACL) that either prevents or allows wireless clients from
connecting to a access point managed WLAN. The mapping of an Association ACL is
strictly optional.
