2.4.2 Encryption
By using Encryption, the data will be transmitted securely over the wireless network.
You have to setup the same encryption key both on your router and wireless client
devices.
Parameters
Default
Description
WEP Mode Disabled
You can select the WEP key length for
encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. Larger WEP key
length will provide higher level of security, but
the throughput will be lower. You also can select
Disabled to transmit data without encryption.
When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data.
You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You also can enter a passphrase and let
the router generate WEP key for you. In the 64-bit WEP mode, you can enter four WEP
keys and select one of them as default key. Then the router can receive any packets
encrypted by one of the four keys
