This particular firmware version only allows for WEP security. We strongly recommend that you do not use WEP. WEP is an extremely out dated form of security and can be cracked within minutes with the right program. Updating your firmware version will allow for WPA2-PSK which is the most up to date form of security. Read more on this subject by clicking this link.
