Wireless Settings WEP
WEP Settings
The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption defined in the 802.11 standard is used to protect wireless communication from
eavesdropping. WEP provides a way of creating an encrypted key that is shared between a wireless client (such as a notebook
with a wireless PC card) and the access point. This key encrypts data before it is transmitted. WEP can be implemented with a
40(64)-bit or 104(128)-bit key. For added security, change your key often. When you change the key on one wireless device, it
must be changed for all wireless devices and access points in the network.
