Wireless Password
An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.

Picking a WiFi channel is not always a simple task. Be sure to read about WiFi channels before making the choice.

It should then ask you for a Cipher Type. We recommend using the newest form of cipher, AES.
