WEP
WEP
An acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP is an encryp-
tion method used to protect your wireless data communications.
WEP uses 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide access control to
your network and encryption security for every data transmis-
sion. To decode a data transmission, each device in a network
must use an identical WEP key. Higher encryption levels offer
higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the
encryption, they may decrease network performance.
Authentication The default is set to Open System, in which the sender and the
recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. Shared
Key is when the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authen-
tication. To disable WEP encryption, keep the default setting,
Disable.
