Where do you go to add the wireless security?

Explanation:
Wireless security configuration is handled through Security Profiles, which hold the encryption method and credentials (for example, WPA2-PSK with AES and your passphrase) and are then applied to a wireless interface. That’s why this is the right place to add the wireless security—Security Profiles define the actual security settings you’ll use on the radio. Creating a new security profile lets you choose the encryption type (WPA2, WPA, etc.), set the key or passphrase, and select the cipher, then you attach that profile to the wireless interface. The other options aren’t where you define the full security policy: a general Wireless Security area isn’t where profiles are created, an Access Control List handles MAC filtering rather than encryption, and Encryption Settings alone isn’t the container that carries the complete security configuration you apply to the interface.
