I'm not a rocket scientist I just want a simple secure set up!

I was told this was a really good router yet it seems more complicated than its worth! What is the difference between AP and Home AP? Does Home AP have encryption (WAP2) I don’t see any comparisons in the basic set up guide.

If you mean the “WISP AP” and “HOME AP” modes in the QuickSet configuration page, Home AP is basically a simplified version of the same, has fewer options. Does not mean it is less secure, it also uses WPA2
