WEP Encryption
Use WEP encryption for basic wireless data encryption. Use WPA if wireless LANs that require a
higher level of security. WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) encryption can be enabled for
security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data portion of each frame transmitted from the wireless
adapter using one of the predefined keys. The router offers 64 or 128-bit encryption with four
keys available. Select the WEP option from the Security: pull-down menu to configure WEP
encryption.
Wireless Settings menu – WEP encryption
