For more information, see
• WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access–Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) data
encryption provides strong data security and blocks eavesdropping. Because these are new
standards, wireless device driver and software availability might be limited. For more
information, see "Configuring WPA" on page
• Turn off the wireless LAN. If you disable the wireless LAN, wireless devices cannot
communicate with the router at all. You might choose to turn off the wireless LAN when you
are away and others on the network all use wired connections. For more information, see
"Advanced Wireless Settings" on page
