Disabled
In this mode, wireless transmissions will not be encrypted, and will be
visible to everyone. However, when setting up or debugging wireless
networks, it is often useful to use this security mode.
WPA-PSK (no server)
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) provides dynamic key changes and
constitutes the best security solution. In a wireless network where not all
devices support WPA, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) should be used.

To enable WPA-PSK:
1 Enter the pre-shared key in the Pre-shared Key (PSK) field. The pre-shared
key is a password, in the form of a word, phrase or series of letters and
numbers. The key must be between 8 and 63 characters long and can
include spaces and symbols.
Note that each client that connects to the network must use the same
key.
