documentation for further instructions.
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup Status, Network Name (SSID),
Security, and Passphrase are displayed at the bottom of

If you have client devices that do not
support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, note the wireless
settings, and then manually configure those
client devices.
Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed information
on setting up wireless security networks, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”
