Security
Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting different method
will enable you to have different level of security. Please note that by using any
encryption, by which data packet is encrypted before transmission to prevent data packets
from being eavesdropped by unrelated people, there may be a significant degradation of
the data throughput on the wireless link.
Encryption : None ( Encryption is set to None by default. )
 If None is selected, you can still select to Use 802.1x Authentication and
Enable MAC Authentication.
 To Enable MAC Authentication means to use client MAC address for
authentication with RAIDUS server
 If both Use 802.1x Authentication and Enable MAC Authentication are
selected, the RADIUS Server will check MAC Authentication first; if the
MAC Authentication passes, the 802.1x Authentication will be skipped. If
not, the RADIUS Server will proceed to check the 802.1x Authentication.
Encryption : WEP
If WEP is selected, users will have to Set WEP keys either manually, or select to Use
802.1x to make the RADIUS server to issue the WEP key dynamically.
