7.3 Security

This page allows you can configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.

You can set the network authentication method, selecting data encryption, specify

whether a network key is required to authenticate to this wireless network and specify

the encryption strength.

This device is equipped with 802.1X and WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the

latest security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard, WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled and authentication is

open. Before enabling the security, consider your network size, complexity, and

existing authentication infrastructure and then determine which solution applies to it.
