Your Wireless AP Router supports two main wireless security standards: Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK).
WEP is usually sufficient for simple wireless deployments (such as home or small
office environments) where network use is casual and traffic, light. In
environments where data security is of paramount importance, however, WPA-PSK
is recommended because of its stronger encryption algorithm.
To configure WEP settings, see "Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)" on page 4-14.
To configure WPA-PSK settings, see "Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre Shared Key
Note: Your Network Blaster Wireless 802.11g Router is backward compatible with 802.11b.
The 802.11b or 802.11g security options available for you to choose from depend on your
wireless client’s capabilities.
Although not essential
to operation, configure
your Wireless Security
settings after setting
up your Wireless AP
Router to safeguard
the data exchanged
within your network.
