WPA-PSK and WPA both use temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) instead of a static
key (like WEP). If possible, choose wireless adapters that support WPA-PSK or WPA (if
you have an 802.1X RADIUS authentication server). Microsoft Windows XP with Service
Pack 1, Apple Mac OS X Version 10.2.8 (and above); Linux 2.4.29 (RedHat 9) may be
required for each client and server.

This router uses context-sensitive menus. After making your security selection, the
bottom of this menu will change to reflect your security setting.

See the following four pages for detailed information for each security setting.
