Dave,
Did you read the manual and/or check out the web help? Since
wireless is soon to be a possibility for the CCIE lab, you should be
familiar with the security basics. After all, this is a Linksys. The
SSID and encryption settings that Wayne mentioned below can be found in
about a minute using the GUI. All wireless NICs support WEP, most newer
drivers (the card maker's, not MS's) support WPA (AES, etc).
