If all components of your wireless network provide this encryption method there is no

need to change any settings on this page. If not, or if you want to change the preset key

(e. g. if unauthorised persons have access to your device), you can configure the

encryption for your wireless network on this page.

The following security mechanisms are available:

u WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (WiFi-Protected Access)

u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WPA-PSK (WPA with pre-shared key) offers greater security than WEP. You should there-

fore select WPA-PSK encryption if it is supported by all components in your wireless net-

work. WPA-PSK is an efficient method for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic keys,

based on the AES (WPA2-PSK) or TKIP (WPA-PSK), offer increased security.

ì In the Wireless Network menu, select Wireless Security.

ì Select the desired encryption method from the Security Mode option menu.

WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK

ì Select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode option menu.

ì Enter a key in the WPA Shared key field (up to 32 characters). Use a combination of

letters, digits and special characters.

ì Click Save Settings to apply your settings.

Note:

If you change the encryption, wirelessly connected clients are disconnected until you

update the security setting on the wireless network adapters again.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Select this option for WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK encryption.

WEP Select this option for WEP encryption.

Disabled Select this option if you want to deactivate the encryption

of the wireless data transmission. It is not recommended to

deactivate encryption.

Note:

Make a note of the key that you have entered. You will need this information to con-

figure the wireless network adapters properly.
