Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security screen configures the security of
your wireless network. The Router supports the following
wireless security mode options: WPA2 Personal, WPA
Personal, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access,
which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption.
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.)
Wireless Security

Select the security method for your wireless network. If
you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,
Disabled.
WPA2 Personal
NOTE: If you are using WPA2, then each device
in your wireless network MUST use the same
WPA2 method and shared key, or else the
network will not function properly.
Security Mode > WPA2 Personal

TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the
type of algorithm, AES or WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES. The
default is WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES.

then each device in your wireless network MUST
use the same WEP encryption method and key,
or else the network will not function properly.
Security Mode > WEP
