Security
It is important to be aware of security issues, especially when using wireless.
You can configure your security settings on this page.
If you are transmitting sensitive data across radio channels, you should enable
wireless security.
For a more secure network, the ADSL Modem Multiservices PSTN Voice can
implement one or a combination of the following security mechanisms:
• No WEP, No WPA*
• WEP Only
• WPA Only
*) Selecting the No WEP, No WPA option will bring you directly to the 802.1x
configuration page.
The security mechanisms that may be employed depend on the level of security
required, the network and management resources available, and the software support
provided on wireless clients. A summary of wireless security considerations is listed
in the following table.
