n Type Select the security standard you want to use.

wireless device can join the network.

Equivalent Privacy).
• WPA-PSK security uses a pre-shared key. All the
wireless devices on the network use the same
key to access the network. This option is not
available in ad-hoc mode.

security. This option is not available in ad-hoc
mode.
