Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in the Wireless LAN Card is based on the
RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data confidentiality are
four 10-bit keys for the 64-bit WEP setting and one 26-bit key for the 128-bit WEP setting.
WEP security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized
access by hackers or intruders. If WEP is in use, all wireless clients on the network must
use the same WEP key in order to communicate.
Encryption (WEP security) — Select 128 bit or 64 bit from the drop-down list. For
more secure data transmission, select 128 bit. (Default: Disabled)

Step 1. Select 128 bit or 64 bit in the Encryption (WEP security) field.
