Important notice regarding Wireless Networking:
When you enable wireless networking, by default, the wireless security is automatically
set to WPA encryption. This ensures the gateway does not have an open wireless
connection.
We recommend you keep the gateway wireless security at WPA instead of the traditional
WEP for greater wireless security, if your computer’s wireless card can support it.
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) is the newest standard for WiFi security, which offers a
measure of security that goes far beyond what WEP is capable of. WEP encryption has
many shortcomings in terms of security that have been well documented, and as such,
we recommend that you use WPA encryption as opposed to using WEP encryption if at all
possible.
