7.2.2 Basic (WEP Encryption)

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points

(AP) to keep network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access points

must use the same WEP key.

Note: WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using

widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more

effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the

wireless devices in your network support. For example, use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK

if all your wireless devices support it, or use WPA or WPA2 if your wireless devices

support it and you have a RADIUS server. If your wireless devices support nothing

stronger than WEP, use the highest encryption level available.

Your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries allows you to configure one 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key.

Security Mode Select Ba sic ( W EP) or M or e Se cure ( W PA( 2 ) - PSK, W PA( 2 ) ) to add security on this

wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have

same wireless security settings as the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. When you select to use

a security, additional options appears in this screen.

Or you can select No Securit y to allow any client to associate this network without any

data encryption or authentication.
