OK, the options aren't quite the same as that page, oddly.
arse wish i could cut & paste them.

WEP
WPA-Personal
PSK-2
PSK2-mixed
WPA-Enterprise
PSK2+RADIUS
RADIUS

WPA Personal is what you want.

Just saw - there is a 'help' page, but it assumes the reader knows the

what a bore this is. I disabled wirelsss for the mo anyway...

Apple's basestations are probably much easier to set up, but once you get past the annoying acronyms none of them are *that* hard.
