4.3 Encryption Tab

The Encryption menu lets you enable encryption and set the encryption keys. To see the available

encryption methods, click the down arrow at the right of the Encryption {WEP} field.

There are two encryption methods available. The IEEE 802.11 specification defines Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) using a 64-bit key. This capability was extended by the industry to allow

a 128-bit key.

If you specify an encryption method, you will only be able to communicate with Access Points and

stations that use the same encryption method and keys.
