5. In the list beside Encryption (for Main Wi-Fi) or Guest Encryption (for Guest Wi-Fi)
select one of the following options. Note that not all options may be available, depending
on the Connection Rate.
 None: No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network);
this setting is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your
Internet connection. (You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
 WEP 64 Bit – Open: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This
option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices and is recommended only if any of
your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
 WEP 64 Bit – Shared: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This
option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices and is recommended only if any of
your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
 WEP 128 Bit – Open: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or
WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
 WEP 128 Bit – Shared: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or
WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
 WPA PSK TKIP: This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi
devices.
 WPA2 PSK AES: This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer
Wi-Fi devices.
 WPA2 PSK TKIP: This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer
Wi-Fi devices.
