If you are transmitting sensitive data across radio channels, you should
enable wireless security.
For a more secure network, the VoIP Router can implement one or a
combination of the following security mechanisms:
Disabled

*Using 802.1x security requires support to do so from your OS or other
third party radius server software, and is not recommended unless you
