Having security on the D-Link in Access Point mode works fine, certainly. It's just not how the instructions tell you to set it up. I've not seen anything in the documentation that mentions having to enter a passphrase on the Driver Station computer.

Nowhere did I see where WPA-AES was optional. The section it was in is titled "Configuring a radio for Competition:".
Yes, the instructions call for WPA security when using the D-Link in Bridge mode. If you follow the instructions, however, you'll be using it that way only at a competition event.
