Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless Settings 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.

Authentication Normally this can be left at the default value of "Auto". If that fails,
select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared Key." Check
your wireless station's documentation to see what method to use.
