It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly!

If you don’t, hackers and malicious users

To set wireless security settings, Please click ‘Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interface, then

click ‘Security Settings’, then follow the following instructions to set wireless security settings:

Please select an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu, there are four options:

2-7-3-1 Disable wireless security

When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless device in proximity will be able to

connect your wireless router if no other security measure is enabled (like MAC address access control - see

section 2-7-4, or disable ESSID broadcast).

Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use your wireless router, and you

don’t care if there’s someone reads the data you transfer over network without your consent.

2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy

When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption, and the following setup menu will be

shown on your web browser:
