    Since communication via the wireless LAN 
    function is established by radio waves, the 
    wireless signal may be susceptible to 
    interception. To protect wireless 
    communication, this system supports various 
    security functions. Be sure to correctly 
    configure the security settings in accordance 
    with your network environment.
    No Security
    Although you can easily make settings, anyone 
    can intercept wireless communication or intrude 
    into your wireless network, even without any 
    sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a 
    risk of unauthorized access or interception of 
    data.
    WEP
    WEP applies security to communications to 
    prevent outsiders from intercepting 
    communications or intruding into your wireless 
    network. WEP is a legacy security technology 
    that enables older device which do not support 
    TKIP/AES to be connected.
    WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK 
    (TKIP)
    TKIP is a security technology developed in 
    response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP 
    assures a higher security level than WEP.
    WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)
    AES is a security technology that uses an 
    advanced security method distinct from WEP 
    and TKIP.
    AES assures a higher security level than WEP or 
    TKIP.
