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 instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
”Chapter 2: Wireless Security."
