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

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