Wireless Security (IAD-200W only)
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen. There are 3
options for Wireless security:
Disabled - no data encryption is used.
WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than
WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support
WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
